Question

5) Sam sold half of his comic books and then bought six more. He now has

fourteen. How many did he begin with ?

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

14-6=8 you subtract 6 because that's how many new ones you got. so then you multiply 8 by 2 and get 16 because 8 was half of 16 and 8+6=14 if that makes sense
