A touchdown is scored 6 points for each touchdown and the points made after a touchdown is scored 2 points each. We are given the following variables:
t = number of touchdowns
p = number of points after a touchdown
Total score = 6t + 2p
Where 6 times t is the total score given by the number of touchdowns multiplied by 6 points, the same goes for the expression 2p.
You do
-26
-4

-30
5n=-30 so...
-30/5=-6
Therefore
n=-6
3 hours and 55 minutes - 15 minutes would leave 3 hours and 40 minutes. You figure there’s 20 minutes 3 times in an hour so 3x3 is 9 + the extra 2 20 minute periods from the 40 minutes. So 11 batches of cookies, 48x11= 528. Amy made 528 cookies.
