Paolo is using his grandmother’s cookie recipe. He always doubles the amount of chocolate chips and oats. The recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of chocolate chips. The total amount of chips and oats after doubling is 6 1/3 cups.

Write an equation to find the original amount of oats, x, in the recipe.

i need a equation with x as the answer and not what x equals
