Answer:
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
Let her original number of comic books = x
She sold half of them, so now she has
x - x/2 = x/2
She bought 9 more. That is represented as
x/2 + 9
Her total is 14
x/2 + 9 = 14
Equation
x/2 + 9 = 14 Subtract 9 from both sides.
x/2 = 14 - 9
x/2 = 5 Multiply both sides by 2
x = 5 * 2
x = 10
Originally she had 10 comics.
