Use the given number game to answer the following question.
Choose an answer
what is the math skill tested here?. okay, Algebraic thinking.
let me try to start
x =number I pick
x +5 * 4 -12÷4
f x represents the starting number, and y represents the final number, which equation is equivalent to the number game?
I am stuck here.
well, the only think i can think of is that the start of my equation is x + 5
and that is the same as how equation 4 begins, y=x+2 .....

Use the given number game to answer the following question.
If x represents the starting number, and y represents the final number, which equation is equivalent to the number game?Pick a number.
Add 5 to the number.
Next, multiply 4.
Subtract 12.
Divide by 4.
Choose an answer
- y = 2 y equals 2
- y = 2x y equals 2 x
- y = x − 2 y equals x minus 2
- y = x + 2 y equals x plus 2
