marta has 7 more than half as many books as lucy. if l is the number of the books lucky has which expression could be use to find the number of books marta has?

Respuesta :

Answer:

M= 1/2(x)+7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M = Martha.

Let X = Number of Lucy's blocks.

Martha has half the amount as Lucy  - 1/2(x)

Then 7 more than that - 1/2 (x) + 7

Answer: [tex]\frac{1}{2} I+7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

marta # books = [tex]?[/tex]

lucy # books = [tex]I[/tex]

Marta has 7 more books than lucy. This means whatever lucy has, marta has 7 more of:

[tex]I + 7[/tex]

then, marta also has half as many books as lucy meaning the final expression is:

[tex]\frac{1}{2} I+7[/tex]
