9. Tony bought x boxes of cookies to bring to a party. Each box has 28 cookies. He decides to keep 2 boxes for himself. He brings 84 cookies to the party.
Which equation can be used to find the number of boxes Tony brought to the party?
A. 2x - 28 = 84
B. 28x - 2 = 84
C. 28x – 56 = 84
D. 56 – 28x = 84

The correct answer is C. 28x – 56 = 84

Explanation:

Writing an equation using a description or situation involves including all the factors mentioned and relating these appropriately through mathematical symbols. In the case presented, the correct equation is 56 – 28x = 84. This is because this equation includes the total of boxes Tony took to the party 84 and this has been correctly included after the symbol =. Also, the total of boxes is equal to the boxes tony bought each with 28 cookies, which can be represented as 28x (x represents the value of boxes that multiplied by 28 leads to the total of cookies) minus the cookies Tony bought (2 boxes each with 28 cookies). This makes the final equation to be 28x – 56 = 84.
