Which statement describes the relationships between x and y in these two equations?

y = 25x
y = x + 25
In y = 25x and y = x + 25, the value of y is 25 times more than the value of x.
In y = 25x, the value of y is 25 times the value of x, and in y = x + 25, the value of y is 25 more than the value of x.
In y = 25x and y = x + 25, the value of y is 25 more than the value of x
In y = 25x, the value of y is 25 more than the value of x, and in y=x+ 25, the value of y is 25 times the value of x.

b) In y = 25x, the value of y is 25 times the value of x, and in y = x + 25, the value of y is 25 more than the value of x.

Out of all the answer choices, b makes the most sense.

25x can be translated as 25 times x.

x + 25 can be translated as 25 more than a number.



Hope this helps!
