Question

Aubrey buys 2 souvenirs during each day of vacation. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the days of vacation x and the number of souvenirs bought y.

Write your answer as an equation with y first, followed by an equals sign.

Answer 1

2X = Y

Explanation:

To determine the equation that will allow to establish the amount of souvenirs bought by Aubrey (Y), taking into account that for each day of vacation (X) buys 2 souvenirs, the following must be taken into account:

The number of days (X) must be multiplied by 2. Thus, if you buy 2 souvenirs per day and your vacation lasts 4 days, you will have bought 8 souvenirs (4 x 2). Thus, the value of Y is equal to 2X, that is:

2X = Y
