JUST ONE MORE I NEED HELP ON HW IM STRUGGLING 15pts

A pilot was scheduled to depart at 4:00 pm, but due to air traffic, her departure has been delayed by 16 minutes. Air traffic control approved a new flight plan that will allow her to arrive four times faster than she calculated in her original flight plan. Let x represent the time, in minutes, of her original flight. Create an equation that can be used to predict the number of minutes after 4:00 pm she will arrive at her destination.

y equals one fourth times x minus 16
y = 4x − 16
y equals one fourth times x plus 16
y = 4x + 16
