Question

Adi has a half of 6 more than 5 times the number of batteries of Kevin. If Adi has 13 batteries, how many does Kevin have?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

ok

so u need to make equation in it

1/2 of 5 times of x plus 6 would be 13...

1/2(5x+6)=13

5/2x+3=13

5/2x=10

5x=10*2

5x=20

x=20/5

x=4

Kelvin has 4 batteries

now let's check if it is correct or not

put 4 in equation

1/2(5*4+6)=13

1/2*26=13

13=13

LHS=RHS
