Answer:

Courtney is bringing 8 snacks

Step-by-step explanation:

Chelsea's snacks are represented as 2x.

2x means 2 · (a number)

If Chelsea brought 16 snacks and the amount of snacks represented by 2x, we have to figure out what times 2 equals 16.

In order to find out, we have to divide.

16 ÷ 8 = 2

This means 2 · 8 = 16

Since the amount of snacks Courtney brings is represented as "x", she would have brought 8 snacks.

Hope this helped! :)
