Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Lisa needs 250 yards of yarn to knit a hat.

She has 185 yards of yarn and needs to buy the rest.

Let y to be the number of yards of yarn she needs to buy.

Number of yards of yarn she needs to buy + Number of yards of yarn she has = 250

$y+185=250$

Subtract 185 from both sides.

$y+185-185=250-185$

$y=65$

The required equation is $y+185=250$ and solution is $y=65$ .

Therefore, the correct option is B.
