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.
(x cookies) / (23 students - (12/2) students) = 2 cookies per student [x / (23 - 6)] cookies per student = 2 cookies per student 23 students * (2 cookies per students) - 12 cookies = x cookies The "students" unit cancels 46 cookies - 12 cookies = x cookies x cookies = 34 cookies
