Question

Mayra bought x grams of rice.

Anika bought 5

more than Mayra bought.

Select ALL of the equations that represent the relationship

between the amount of rice that Mayra bought, x, and the

amount of rice that Anika bought, y.

(Select all that apply)

Answer 1

`y = 5 + x`

`y - x = 5`

`x = y - 5`

Explanation:

No options were given but the question can still be solved

Given

From the first statement, we have:

`Maria = x`

From the second, we have:

`Anika = 5\ more`

Required

Determine the relationship between the amount of rice they bought

5 more means 5 + Maria.

So,
`Anika = 5\ more` becomes

`Anika = 5 + Maria`

Substitute x for Maria

`Anika = 5 + x`

For proper expression, let Anika be y

`y = 5 + x`

Subtract x from both sides

`y - x = 5`

Make x the subject

`x = y - 5`
