Kendal bought 7 boxes of cookies, kept 2 boxes for herself and brought 60 cookies to the party.

Let x represent the number of boxes of cookies bought by Kendal.

Each box has 12 cookies, hence:

number of cookies = 12x

Kendal brings 60 cookies to the party. She keeps 2 boxes for herself. To find the number of boxes we use:

12x = 60 + 12(2)

12x = 84

x = 7

Therefore Kendal bought 7 boxes of cookies, kept 2 boxes for herself and brought 60 cookies to the party.

Total number of boxes of cookies that Kendal bought to bring to the party is x.

Each box contains 12 cookies. This means that total number of cookies in x boxes would be

12 × x = 12x

She decides to keep two boxes for herself. This means that the total number of cookies that she kept for herself would be

12 × 2 = 24 cookies

She brings 60 cookies to the party.

The equation that can be used to find the number of boxes, x, Kendal bought would be

12x = 24 + 60

12x = 84

x = 84/12 = 7 boxes
