Y=2X+4

Where y is the the total no of fruits the monkey eats and x is the no of bananas the Tommy eats... 4 represents the 4 apples eaten every morning by the monkry

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of bananas that Tommy eats.

Let y represent the total number of pieces of fruit that the monkey eats.

Every day, his monkey eats 4 apples in the morning. The monkey also eats two bananas for every banana that tommy eats. This means that the number of bananas that the monkey eats is 2x. The expression for the total number of fruits eaten by the monkey becomes

y = 2x + 4
