Hi! I know for sure that a and d are equivalent to the expression which is not what you are looking for. This is because 11 times 8 gives you the 88 on a and if you multiply the 5 also by 8 you get 40 so a is not the answer. The reason I multiply both by the same number and got the equivalency is because, "What you do to one side, you do to the other." Same thing with d. My answer would be B because you can't change the variable to a different number. You can't just give the five the y and make it mean the same. The answer is B.
Answer:
D

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of boxes of cookies that Kendal bought to bring to the party is x.
Each box contains 12 cookies. This means that total number of cookies in x boxes would be
12 × x = 12x
She decides to keep two boxes for herself. This means that the total number of cookies that she kept for herself would be
12 × 2 = 24 cookies
She brings 60 cookies to the party.
The equation that can be used to find the number of boxes, x, Kendal bought would be
12x = 24 + 60
12x = 84
x = 84/12 = 7 boxes
