Answer 2

Let x be the amount of money Jade had to start with. According to the problem, Jade was given $16 and now has $21. Using the subtraction property of equality, we can set up the equation x + $16 = $21. By subtracting $16 from both sides of the equation, we get x = $5. Therefore, Jade had $5 to start with.

Answer: $5

Answer 3

Let x be the number of comic books George had to start with. According to the problem, George gave 13 comic books to his sister and now has 42 left in his collection. Using the addition property of equality, we can set up the equation x - 13 = 42. By adding 13 to both sides of the equation, we get x = 55. Therefore, George had 55 comic books to start with.

Answer: 55
