Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

• y = 12x +24
• 744

If there are x boxes, each containing 12 cookies, then the number of cookies in the boxes is 12x. If there are 24 more cookies than that at the party, we have ...

y = 12x +24 . . . . . equation modeling party cookies

__

For x=60, the number of cookies at the party is ...

y = 12·60 +24 = 720 +24

y = 744 . . . cookies at the party
