Question

Jan has 4 coins fewer than Mike. Write an additive relationship where x
is Mike’s coins and y
is Jan’s coins.(1 point)
Responses

y=x+4
y equals x plus 4

x=y−4
x equals y minus 4

y=x−4
y equals x minus 4

x=y+4

Answer 1

Since Jan has 4 coins fewer than Mike, we can express this relationship in terms of \( x \) (Mike's coins) and \( y \) (Jan's coins) as follows:

\[ y = x - 4 \]

So the correct response is:

**y = x - 4**
