Question 1147427: You are baking cookies for your class. There are 23 total students in your class and you have baked 12 cookies. Write and solve an equation to find the additional number x of cookies you need to bake in order to have 2 cookies for each student. Write your equation so the units on each side of the equation are cookies per student.
Answer by ikleyn(52803)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
This equation is as simple as
12 + x = 2*23.
The solution to this equation is as simple as
x = 2*23 - 12 = 46 - 12 = 34. ANSWER
And my final notice is that the instruction of the last sentence is, in my view, a NONSENSE, which does not make it easier
NEITHER writing NOR solving such equation.
In my view (again), this instruction should be IGNORED and ERASED / DELETED from the post, to make the formulation PROFESSIONAL
and to leave the room for the student's creativity.
