Answer:

Y=( x/2 )- 5

Where y is the number of pencils given to Jamil and 5 is the one kept by Maggie.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number of Katie pencil (x ).

So Katie gave half of her pencils to Maggie.(1/2x)

So Maggie keeps five pencils and give the rest to Jamil.

So

X/2 = 5 + y

Where y is the number of pencils given to Jamil and 5 is the one kept by Maggie.

Y=( x/2 )- 5
