    Step-by-step explanation:

    Total number of boxes of cookies that Kendal bought to bring to the party is x.

    Each box contains 12 cookies. This means that total number of cookies in x boxes would be

    12 * x = 12x

    She decides to keep two boxes for herself. This means that the total number of cookies that she kept for herself would be

    12 * 2 = 24 cookies

    She brings 60 cookies to the party.

    The equation that can be used to find the number of boxes, x, Kendal bought would be

    12x = 24 + 60

    12x = 84

    x = 84/12 = 7 boxes
