The question is incomplete so, the complete question is below:

`The\ equation\ 4x - 45 = y \ is\ used\ to\ find\ your\ profit,\ y,\ in\ dollars\ from\ buying`

`\ \$45\ of\ supplies\ and\ washing\ cars\ for\ \$4\ each.\ What\ does\ the\ x\ stand\ for?`

1. The cost of the supplies (in dollars)

2. The total profit (in dollars)

3. The number of cars washed

4. The cost (in dollars) per car

Now, to find
`x` stand for.

The equation used to get profit is:

`4x-45=y`

As, given $4 is the money for washing cars each.

So,
`x` here is the number of cars washed.

Hence,
`x` stands for number of cars washed.

Thus, the answer is option 3. The number of cars washed.
