Kendal bought x boxes of cookies to bring to a party. each box contains 12 cookies. she decides to keep two boxes for herself. she brings 60 cookies to the party. write an equation that can be used to find the number of boxes, x,kendal bought?

(60 ÷12) + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If she brought sixty cookies, then you need to take 60 and divide it by how many cookies per box. She also kept two, so you add two. The total is 7 boxes.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
