Question 8 • TOL-202627-S1-MTH-Algebra 2A - Parker, Carla

Jayne stopped to get gas before going on a road trip. The tank already had 4 gallons of gas in it. Which equation relates the total amount of gasoline in the tank, y, to the number of gallons that she put in the tank, x?

Answer
A
y=4+x
B
y = x − 4
C
y = 4 · x
D
y = x ÷ 4

Explanation

The tank started with 4 gallons, and Jayne added x more gallons. So the total amount is 4 + x, which gives y = 4 + x. Choice A, y = 4 + x, matches this relationship.
