the answer will be y= x × 2 + 4 . multiply by 2 because it will eat 2 bananas for every 1 banana that Tommy eats. add for because the monkey eats 4 apples in morning already

Answer:

Explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The number of apples monkey eats = 4

The number of bananas monkey eats = 2

Suppose x is the number of bananas means monkey eats 2x

So total fruit monkey eats =
apples + bananas

total fruit monkey eats =
4+2x

the number of total fruits given by y, so


y=4+2x


y=2x+4 : Answer

Hope it will help :)
