Half of Maria's boxes were destroyed in a fire. She bought seven more boxes.
Write an expression to show how many boxes she started with, b.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex](\frac{1}{2} b)+7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

b= number of boxes she started with

We know that half of her boxes were destroyed in a fire, so we can represent that as [tex](\frac{1}{2} b)[/tex] , because she'll now have 1/2 of her boxes.

She then buys seven more, so we can add 7 to the equation, [tex](\frac{1}{2} b)+7[/tex].
