Answer:
y = 4 * x
y is the number of students that Lorenzo surveys,
x is the number of students that Nicole surveys.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lorenzo surveys 24 students, so we can use this value as the left side of our equation.
The number of students that Lorenzo surveys is 4 times as many as the number of students that Nicole surveys, that is 6. So, we use the value of 6 in the right side of the equation, and multiplied by 4 (the expression "4 times as many as" means that one value is the second one multiplied by 4)
The expression that represents this is:
24 = 4 * 6
If we use the variable y to express the number of students that Lorenzo surveys and x to express the number of students that Nicole surveys, we can write this equation:
y = 4 * x
