Answer:
Y=( x/2 )- 5
Where y is the number of pencils given to Jamil and 5 is the one kept by Maggie.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the number of Katie pencil (x ).
So Katie gave half of her pencils to Maggie.(1/2x)
So Maggie keeps five pencils and give the rest to Jamil.
So
X/2 = 5 + y
Where y is the number of pencils given to Jamil and 5 is the one kept by Maggie.
Y=( x/2 )- 5
