You are baking cookies for your class. There are 23 total students in your class and you have baked 12 cookies. Write and solve
an equation to find the additional number x of cookies you need to bake in order to have 2 cookies for each student. Write your equation so that the units on each side of the equation are cookies per student. Equation: The equation has to equal 2
=2
Number of cookies: x=
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.
