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.

Answer:
2x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
= 2(x + 3)
= 2(x) + 2(3)
= 2x + 6
Answer:
formula: a squared + b squared= c squared
6 squared+ 8 squared= c squared
36+64= c squared
100= c squared
Square root both sides
You get 10= c
