Question 930179: Please help me figure out this problem... "14. Danny sold half of his comic books then bought 9 more. He now has 18 comic books. How many comic books did he begin with?" Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = original number of comics
---
x - x/2 + 9 = 18
(2/2)x - (1/2)x = 9
(1/2)x = 9
x = 9/(1/2)
x = 9*2
x = 18
---
answer:
x = original number of comic books = 18
