Answer: j/2+7= the amount his brother has
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm going to do an example equation, so let's pretend j=30
Step 1: Divide the jelly beans in half (by 2)
30/2=15
Step 2: So now they each have 15 jellybeans, but if Jarrett gives his brother 7 jellybeans...
15+7= 22
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
j = jelly beans
Jarrett splits his bag of j jelly beans into two equal piles
so now we have two equal piles of the jelly beans
½j and ½j
and gives one pile to his brother
so right now the brother has
½j
He then gives his brother seven more beans
we add 7 to our equation and now
this is the algebraic expression that represents the number of beans the brother has:
(–5, 4)
B.
(–2, 3)
C.
(5, 4)
D.
(9, 4)
No, because if y is in fact 9 then the expression evaluates to which is a false hence y cannot be 9 but rather .
Hope this helps.
