Question

Amy and Stephanie were playing a number game. Amy picked a number and told Stephanie that if she added 9 to the number and multiplied the

sum by 4, it would equal 16. Which equation could Stephanie use to find the number, x?
OA. 4(x + 9) = 16
OB.
4(x) + 9 = 16
OC. 4+ (x + 9) = 16
OD. 9(x + 4) = 16

Answer 1

Let X be the number Amy picked.

You add 9 to the number so you have x + 9

That then gets multiplied by 4 to equal 16:

The answer would be A. 4(x+9) = 16
