The total number of cookies baked by grandma = 96
Number of grandchildren = 8
As given, all cookies were evenly divided among 8 children, let us assume that everyone except Cindy got equal share. So on being divided equally, it becomes, 
cookies per children.
But, as mentioned that Cindy received 'c' cookies less, so let us suppose Cindy received 'x' cookies.
Expression becomes: 
Hence, Cindy received 12-c cookies.
The answer would be J because if the equation was transferred into a positive then it would be 2y and 5x marking 5x on the bottom and 2y vertically.
Hope this helps!!
Given that:
James is 6 times older than his friend Zach, if Zach added 8 to his age and multiplied this sum by 3 .
To find:
The equation that can be used to solve for zach's age.
Solution:
Let the age of zach be Z.
Zach added 8 to his age = Z+8
And multiplied this sum by 3 = 3(Z+8)
James is 6 times older than his friend Zach = 6Z
Now,
Divide both sides by 3.
Therefore, the required equation is is age of zach is 8 years.
The correct answer is: [C]: " c(x) = –8x²<span> + 3x – 5 " .
_________________________________________________________
The quadratic function takes the form of:
_________________________________________________________
" f(x) = ax</span>² + bx + c " .

Answer choice: [C]: " c(x) = –8x² + 3x – 5 " ;
is the only answer choice provided that takes that form of the quadratic function:
" f(x) = ax² + bx + c " :
in which: " a = -8 " ; " b = 3 " ; " c = -5 " .

I not that good with math but I would say C.
