2x can represent the starting cost for a cookie.

5 can represent what goes to the boy scouts.

13 means the total amount of money you are paying.

Question:

Boy scouts sell cookies for x dollars. It costs $2 to start because that is labor of making the cookie. In addition to that, you need to pay $5 so it can go to supporting them. In total, you pay $13. How much money did you pay for cookies?

Solution:

2x + 5 = 12

~Subtract 5 to both sides

2x = 7

~Divide 2 to both sides

x = 3.5

Therefore, the cookie cost $3.50 each.

Best of Luck!
