Question

William sold half of his comic books and then bought 14 more he now has 24 with how many did he have in the beginning

Answer 1

let the number of comic books be X
if we add 14 to X = 24
so we will find the value of X to get half initial number of comic books William had.
14+X=24
X=24-14
X=10
so the total innitial number of comic books William had is 10+10=20 books.

Answer 2

Answer: 20 books 

I hope this helps and have a wonderful day filled with joy!!
