    x-25 = 40

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the number of cookies made = x

    The employees bake 40 cookies which is 25 less than the number of donuts they make

    Number of Cookies is less than Number of Donuts by 25

    Therefore the equation that describes the situation is given as:

    x-25 = 40 where x is the number of cookies made.

    The equation is not correct

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Lets break it down

    Cookies = 40

    Donuts lets call it x since we dont have a figure

    It is said that the 40 cookies is 25 less than the number of donuts

    So therefore

    x less than 25 = 40

    x-25=40

    To get x we add 25 to each side

    x-25+25=40+25

    x=65

    Equation should be

    x-25=40

    That is 65-25 = 40
