After getting 5 new rocks, George gave half of his rock collection to Susan. If George gave Susan 36 rocks, which equation could be used to determine how many rocks George started with?

One-half x = 36 + 5
One-half (x minus 5) = 36
One-half (x + 5) = 36
One-half x + 5 = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given After getting 5 new rocks, George gave half of his rock collection to Susan. If George gave Susan 36 rocks, which equation could be used to determine how many rocks George started with?

So George has some rocks and let the rocks be x. So he gets 5 new rocks.
Now the equation will be x + 5 (since he gets 5 more new rocks in addition)
he gives half of his collection to Susan.
Now after getting the additional rocks he gives half of it to Susan. So the equation will be
½ (x + 5)
So George gave Susan 36 rocks and so we can write the equation as
½ (x + 5) = 36
Option 3 holds good
