Answer:

X= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

lets guess and check.

2, + the 2 her brother gives her is too high, its 4.

which means we go lower.

0 can't be right, because 0 + 2 = 2, not 3.

lets try 1.

1 + 2 = 3.

So that means X = 3.

The equation that represents the given situation is

[tex]\frac{x}{2} +2=3[/tex]

Given :

Janice had x color pencils in her box and shares them equally with her friend.

Then her brother gave her 2 more pencils.

Now we has 3 pencils in her box.

At first Janice had 'x' pencils in her box. After sharing with her friend equally

Janice had [tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex] pencils

Now we add 2 more because her brother gives 2 more

[tex]\frac{x}{2} +2[/tex]

Janice has 3 pencils in her box

[tex]\frac{x}{2} +2=3[/tex]
