Question

Isabella has already baked 4 pies, and she can bake 2 pies with each additional cup of sugar she buys. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the additional cups of sugar x and the number of pies y.

Answer 1

It would be y = 2x+4

Explanation:

This is because Isabella has started with 4 baked pies and is gaining additional pies with in amounts of 2 pies.

With this, 4 would be by itself and 2 would be attached to the variable x for the unknown amount of additional pies.

Lastly, you would have this all equaling y, as y is the total amount of pies.
