Lois wrote articles for her local newspaper. Half of the articles she wrote were published in one week’s issue, and 2 more articles were published in the following week’s issue. If Lois had 3 unpublished articles after the second week, how many articles did she originally write?

Respuesta :

Answer:

10 articles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of articles Lois wrote = x

Number of articles published in one week = half of x = 0.5 x

Number of articles published in second week = 2

Unpublished articles = 3

So, Making mathematical equation as:

0.5 x + 2 + 3 = x  

5 = 0.5 x  

x = 10 articles

The articles she wrote for her local newspaper are 10
