Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that 1 dozen = 12 so 4 dozen cookies has a total of 48 cookies. We are going to use the following ratios to solve the problem:
and 
a) 
b) 18 dozen cookies = 216 cookies

The answer is 6.5t2+0.5t−5.5 , it’s simplified
Do you see -8x?
Take half of -8 and square it.
So, (-8)/2 = -4.
(-4)^2 = 16
Now add 16 to both sides.
