Answer:
The number of cookies in the jar is 7.
If we include the 5 cookies from the tray in the jar the total number of cookies would be 5 + 7 = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the number of cookies in the jar as 'x'. Hence the equation formed would be:-
7(x) + 5 = 54
7x + 5 = 54
7x = 54 - 5
7x = 49
x = [tex]\frac{49}{7}[/tex]
x = 7
The number of cookies in the jar is 7.
If we include the 5 cookies from the tray in the jar the total number of cookies would be 5 + 7 = 12
Hope this helps.
