Answer 1

First, second and fourth.

Explanation:

k could represent the number of cookies given to Kiran.

The first one is true, Lin gave 36 - 26 cookies to Kiran.

The second one is also true, Lin had 26 cookies remaining after she gave some to Kiran.

The third one is false, 26 - the amount Lin gave is not 36.

The fourth one is true, 36 is equal to the amount remaining plus the amount given to Kiran.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

36 - k = 26

Explanation:

Lin started out with 26 cookies, and then she gave an unknown amount to Kiran, and was left with 26, so 36 - k = 26
