Arecipe requires 2.5 teaspoons of sugar to make a candy bar. which equation shows the number of teaspoons of sugar, y, needed to make x candy bars? y = 2.5x x = 2.5y y = 2.5 x x = 2.5 y

If you would like to know the equation that shows the number of teaspoons of sugar needed to make x candy bars, you can calculate this using the following steps:

2.5 teaspoons of sugar ... 1 candy bar
y teaspoons of sugar = ? ... x candy bars = ?

2.5 * x = 1 * y
2.5 * x = y
y = 2.5 * x

The correct result would be y = 2.5 * x.

B. because the 7 represents "seven times", x represents "a number", 12 represents "plus twelve", and -4 represents "minus four"
