Question

Silvia has money saved in her bank account. She also has a $30 gift card. The total amount she can spend is represented by which equation?(1 point)
Responses

x=30y
x equals 30 y

y=x+30
y equals x plus 30

x=y+30
x equals y plus 30

y=x+900

Answer 1

The correct equation to represent the total amount Silvia can spend, where \( x \) is the amount of money saved in her bank account and \( y \) is the total amount she can spend, would be:

\[ y = x + 30 \]

This equation shows that her total spending amount \( y \) is the sum of the money in her bank account \( x \) and the $30 from the gift card.

So, the answer is:
**y = x + 30**.
