Question

Annie have 56 stamps that are 26 less than one half of my stamps how many stamps do i have？​

Answer 1

You have 164 stamps.

Explanation:

Let the no. of my stamps be 'x'

Half of x subtracted by 26 = 56

`(1)/(2) x` - 26 = 56

`(1)/(2) x` = 56 + 26 = 82

`x` = 82 x 2 = 164

Let's check

`(164)/(2)` - 26 = 56

`(164)/(2)` = 56 + 26

164 = 82 x 2

164 = 164!

The answer is correct.
