Question

Four friends are playing the board game Hidden Treasure. The game begins with 40 coins

divided evenly among the four players. Each player keeps 2 of their coins on the table and
keeps the rest of the coins inside their bag.
Let b equal the number of coins in each bag.
Which equation represents the total number
of coins the four players have?

4(b+2)=40

4b=40

b+2=49

4b+2=40
