Question

create an equation for the following.
Danielle sold half of her comics and then bought five more. She now has 35. With how many did she begin?

Answer 1

1/2x + 5 = 35

You use 1/2 because she sold half of her books . Then +5 because she gained 5 back and 35 because your end total should be 35.

Hope this helps ! :)
