Question

I have a certain number of chocolates. My friend has 4 more than twice the number of chocolates I have. Which of the following equations depicts the relation between the number of chocolates with me and my friend?
($x$ - no. of chocolates I have, and $y$ - no. of chocolates my friend has)

• A. $2y=x+4$
• B. $4y=x+2$
• C. $y=2x+4$
• D. $x+2y=4$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $y=2x+4$

If $x$ is taken as the number of chocolates I have, and $y$ as the number of chocolates my friend has,
Then, $2\times x+4=y$, since my friend has $4$ more than $2$ times the number of chocolates I have.
or $y=2x+4$
