Tony also has 18 sweets

Sue gives Tony x sweets

Sue then eats 5 of her sweets
Tony eats half of his sweets

Write an expression for the number of sweets Sue and Tony now have.

Answer 1

HELLO,

Number of sweets Sue has : 18

Number of sweets Tony has : 18

Number of sweets given to Tony by Sue :

$x$

So,

$18 - x - 5 + (18 + x) \div 2$

=

$13 - x + (18 + x) \div 22$

Hence, the expression for the number of sweets Sue and Tony now have is :

$13 - x + (18 + x) \div 2$
