Step-by-step explanation:
No. of toy cars with James= t
No. of toy cars with Paul= t+13
Therefore, No. of cars James will have if Paul will give him half of his toy cars:
t+t+13*1/2
=(2t+13)/2
=t+6.5

Answer: James will have (t+6.5) toy cars in all.

Hope it helps u! :)

We don't know how many cars James has but we know they have 't'. But we know Paul has 13 cars. The question asks if Paul hands over half of his cars to James how many would James have? Well, 13 / 2 = 6.5

If James right now has 't' cars then after Pauls give his cars, then James will have t + 6.5.

Hope this helps!
