Question

A Spanish teacher informed her class that she would be giving 4 quizzes each month. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the number of months elapsed, x, and the total number of quizzes, y.

Answer 1

y = 4x

Explanation:

Since there are going to be four quizzes a month (x), we know that we will multiply the number of months (x) by the number of quizzes (4). However, because we don't know how many months there are, we can define the months as (x), and instead put the total (y) is equal to the number of quizzes per month (4), multiplied by the number of months (x). Out final result is

(y = 4x)
