Question

Camille has already baked 1 cake, and she can bake 2 cakes with each additional stick of butter she buys. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the number of additional sticks of butter and the number of cakes y

Answer 1

1+2x=y

Explanation:

X: Number of sticks

Y= number of cakes

There is already one cake, so you must add one to the equation. You multiply x by two since 1 stick of butter (x) makes two cakes.
