Answer:

55 = 5x

Explanation:

Sadie had 55 stickers. Each day she gave away 5 stickers to her friends.

Write an equation to model this situation in the form y = mx + b, but do not

include any spaces in your answers. (for example y=6x+1)

Equation to model this situation in the form y = mx + b,

y = Total number of stickers she had

x = Number of days that she gave away sticker

b = Fixed value = 0

Hence:

55 = 5x + b

b = Fixed value = 0

Therefore, the situation is represented as:

55 = 5x
