Write a one variable, one-step equation that represents this situation: Izzy has two more baseball cards than Josh. Josh has 48 baseball cards.(1 point)

Question

Responses

i/2=48
Start Fraction i over 2 End Fraction equals 48

i+2=48
i plus 2 equals 48

i−2=48
i minus 2 equals 48

2i=48

Answer 1

The correct one-variable, one-step equation that represents the situation is:

\( i = 48 + 2 \)

Since Izzy has two more baseball cards than Josh, and Josh has 48, you can rewrite the equation as:

\( i = 50 \)

However, if you need an equation in the form provided in your options, the correct representation would be:

\( i - 2 = 48 \)

This form shows that if you subtract 2 from Izzy's cards (i), you will find the number of cards Josh has (48). Therefore, the answer from your options is:

i - 2 = 48
