Joan sold half of her comic books and then bought 9 more. she now has 16. how many did she begin with?

That's easy. We know she has 16. She got 16 by buying 9, so first we subtract 9. That leaves us with 7. We also know that's HALF of what she started with, so we will multiply 7 by 2, which gives us 14. That means she started with 14 comic books.

false

step-by-step explanation:

the reason i say this is because for a certain length of sides you can pick any two and the length is wither equal or greater than the third side and in this case it's not.

3 + 5 = 8

8 is smaller than 9 which is the third side.
