Answer:


x + 4

Explanation:

The question have missing details.

Because, the question says she collected some cans "after picnic"; This means that she has some cans "before picnic"

So, we assume that she has x bags of can before the picnic.


After\ Picnic = 4

So, the total number of bags collected is:


Total = Before + After\ Picnic


Total = x + 4

If x is 5, then she took 9 bags of can to the recycling center

If x is 2, then she took 6 bags of can to the recycling center

If x is 0, then she took 4 bags of can to the recycling center
