    Y = (x/2) - 5

    Where y is the number of pencils given to Jamil and 5 is the one kept by Maggie.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's call the number of Katie pencil (x).

    So Katie gave half of her pencils to Maggie. (1/2x)

    So Maggie keeps five pencils and give the rest to Jamil.

    So

    X/2 = 5 + y

    Where y is the number of pencils given to Jamil and 5 is the one kept by Maggie.

    Y = (x/2) - 5
