Combine like terms
8x+24=x+5
subtract x from both sides
8x+24=x+5
-x -x
7x+24=5
subtract 24 from both sides
7x+24=5
-24 -24
7x = -19
divide 7 from both sides
7x = -19
7x/7 = -19/7
x= -19/7
Yes, it is reasonable for Brittany to think that she will need more than 2 batches of cookies to feed all of the people at her school.
One batch of dough makes 2 dozen cookies, or 24 cookies.
This means that two batches of dough makes 4 dozen cookies, or 48 cookies.
If Brittany only brought 48 cookies to school, some kids wouldn't get cookies. So, we know that Brittany should probably bake more than 2 batches of cookies.
Answer:
Dont think eh multiplied both sides by 4. That would be the first step.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4(x+12)=2
multiply both sides by 4
x+12=8
move the 8 to the right side of the equation and change its sign
x=8-12
calculate
x= -4
