Lucy separates a number of paintbrushes, x, into 2 equally sized groups. She claims that this is the same as making a group 1/2 the size of his original group. Create an equation that models Lucy's claim.

x/2 = 1/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

# of paintbrushes/ 2 piles = 1/2 # of paintbrushes

x/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Lucy is taking the paintbrushes, x, and splitting them into 2 equally sized groups we can assume that this IS 1/2 the size of the original group.

We can show this claim by simply doing this equation: x/2, since she is splitting them into 2 groups that are equally sized, we are just dividing x by two.

step-by-step explanation:

y = | -2(-2) |     →     y = | 4 |     →     y = 4       ⇒   (-2, 4)

y = | -2(-1) |     →     y = | 2 |     →       y =   2       ⇒   (-1, 2)    

y = | -2(0) |     →     y = | 0 |     →       y = 0         ⇒   (0, 0)

y = | -2(1) |   c →     y = | -2 |     →     y =   2         ⇒   (1, 2)    

y = | -2(2) |     →     y = | - 4 |     →     y =   4         ⇒   (2, 4)
