Question

Grandma Gertrude gave 13 pieces of jewelry and grandma Fien gave y pieces of jewelry to the Carlson sisters to divide evenly among themselves. There are 5 Carlson sisters. How many pieces of jewelry did each sister receive?

Answer 1

`x=(13+y)/(5)`

Explanation:

Grandma Gertrude gives 13 and Fien gives y.

`x=13+y`

The total amount of jewelry divided evenly between the 5 sisters:

`x=(13+y)/(5)`

Nothing further can be done without knowing another value.
