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 number of ways in which the name 'ESTABROK' can be made with no restrictions is 40, 320 ways.
<h3>How to determine the number of ways</h3>
Given the word:
ESTABROK
Then n = 8
p = 6
The formula for permutation without restrictions
P = n! ( n - p + 1)!
P = 8! ( 8 - 6 + 1) !
P = 8! (8 - 7)!
P = 8! (1)!
P = 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 × 1
P = 40, 320 ways
Thus, the number of ways in which the name 'ESTABROK' can be made with no restrictions is 40, 320 ways.

Answer: X = 8/3
Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio cosine tell us that
- In a right angled triangle, the cosine of an angle is the side adjacent to the angle divided by the hypotenuse of the triangle.
In other words,

The side adjacent to angle a is 9. The hypotenuse is 41.
So

<u>Solution</u> :
Let, the number be A
Given, A/2 + 12 = 6
⇒ (A + 24)/2 = 6
⇒ A + 24 = 12
⇒ A = 12 - 24
⇒ A = - 12
∴ the required number is (- 12). (Ans.)
