Answer: C

Explanation:

in y=5x, we can see a 5 placed in front of x. If there is no addition, subtraction, or division sign between a number and a variable, it always means it's multiplication.

We know now that this is 5 times x.

In y=x+5, we see that 5 is being added to x. Therefore, y is 5 more than x.

So there you have it.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

y=5x reads "y equals (5 times x)", which we can rephrase to "the value of y is 5 times the value of x"

y=x+5 reads "y equals (x plus 5)", which we can rephrase to "the value of y is 5 more than the value of x".

Ergo, answer C is what we're looking for.
