Answer 1

-2X+24

Explanation:

Answer 2

`y=-2x+24`

Explanation:

Let

x------> the number of days

y----->the number of cookies which are left at the end of each day

we know that

`y=-2x+24`

verify

For
`x=0\ days`

`y=-2(0)+24=24\ cookies` -----> original amount of cookies

For
`x=1\ days`

`y=-2(1)+24=22\ cookies`

For
`x=12\ days`

`y=-2(12)+24=0\ cookies`
