Yes you have a good example.
x = number of cookies
2*x = total amount spent on cookies at $2 each
2x-3 = amount you pay after the $3 discount is applied one time for the entire order
-------------
a more numeric example may be this
Lets say you bought 12 cookies, so x = 12
This means it costs 2*x = 2*12 = 24 dollars total if the discount doesnt apply
However, the 3 dollar discount is there, so the grand total is 24-3 = 21 dollars.
The widths of the bars are equal to ensure that numbers aren't represented improperly. If a bar was wider than another that was the same height, it could be misinterpreted as being larger.
All you have to do is write a positive number. let's say 4, then write a positive exponent (that's the tiny number in the right corner of the regular number) and then just write a positive exponent less than 4.
So 4 squared
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
8 in × (1 ft)/(12 in) = ⅔ ft
36 ft × 58 ft × ⅔ ft = 1392 ft³
1392 ft³ × (1 yd³)/(27 ft³) ≅ 52 yd³
52 yd³ × $123/yd³ = $6396
