How would you write a real-world problem that models the following equation: +40=x? (1 point)

The amount of money a stock lost in the stock market was $40 more than it gained.

Marsha is below sea level. To get as far above sea level as she is below, she would have to move to a location 40 feet higher

If Alex gained as much money as she lost, she would have 40 dollars

The number of days that the temperature has been below zero is 40 fewer than the number of days the temperature has been above zero

1 answer

The most appropriate real-world problem that models the equation +40=x is:

If Alex gained as much money as she lost, she would have 40 dollars.

This scenario can be interpreted such that the money Alex gained (x) is $40 more than what she lost, which fits the equation. The other options do not align with the equation as clearly.
