Answer 2

Answer:

12+2x=46     x=17 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

First you are going to double the number of students because each student is getting 2 cookies. Then you will subtract 12 from 46 and that gets you 34. Then you will divide 2 by 34 to get how many cookies she needs to bake. 17 more cookies. To check your work plug in 17 by the x. so 2 times 17 is 34 plus 12 is 46 so that answer is correct.
