Answer: L/2 + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of books that Lucy has = L
Since Marta has 7 more than half as many books as Lucy, the expression that could be used to find the number of books Marta has will be gotten by multiplying the number of books that Marta has by 1/2 and then adding 7 to the value gotten. This will be:
= (1/2 × L) + 7
= L/2 + 7 or 0.5L + 7
