Final answer:

Without additional context regarding George's writing speed or initial pages, it is not possible to accurately select the correct equation from the provided options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asked to write an equation representing the number of pages y George will have written after x hours. To find the correct equation, we analyze the relationship between the number of hours and the number of pages written.

The options provided are linear equations, in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope representing the number of pages written per hour and b is the y-intercept representing any starting quantity of pages before George begins writing. Unfortunately, the question does not provide additional information about George's writing speed or a starting number of pages, making it impossible to definitively select the correct equation without further context.

Generally, one would look for a pattern indicating the slope (rate of pages per hour) and y-intercept (initial number of pages).
