Question 921789: Tim sold half of his comic books an then bought 7 more. He now has 16. how many did he begin with

That would be 18.
16-7=9
9x2=18
16 minus 7 is 9 or what he had after he sold half his comic books but before he bought 7 more.
So 9 times 2 is 18.
If that even made sense. XD
Anyways, hope this helped!!! :D
