Answer:

x = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

5x - 2(x + 1) = 1/4

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. <u>Distribute -2:</u> 5x - 2x - 2 = 1/4
  2. <u>Combine like terms:</u> 3x - 2 = 1/4
  3. <u>Add 2 to both sides:</u> 3x = 9/4
  4. <u>Divide both sides by 3:</u> x = 3/4

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

5(3/4) - 2(3/4 + 1) = 1/4

15/4 - 2(7/4) = 1/4

15/4 - 14/4 = 1/4

1/4 = 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 1.25cups of all-purpose flour, 110grams of butter, half cup of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon (tsp) of baking soda is needed to make 12 cookies. Therefore to make 24 cookies, double of this value would be needed.
