Question

Kenzie bakes 9 oatmeal cookies. Kenzie bakes 7 fewer

cookies than Lisa. How many oatmeal cookies does
Lisa bake?

Answer 1

16 oatmeal cookies

Explanation:

We can represent this situation as an equation.

• L - 7 = 9
• L represents Lisa's cookies, (-7) represents 7 fewer cookies, and 9 represents Kenzie's cookies

Step 1: Add 7 to both sides.

• 
  `L-7+7=9+7`
• 
  `L=16`

Therefore, Lisa baked 16 oatmeal cookies.
