Answer:

The answer is option 3. The number of cars washed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete so, the complete question is below:

$The\ equation\ 4x - 45 = y \ is\ used\ to\ find\ your\ profit,\ y,\ in\ dollars\ from\ buying$

$\ \ 45\ of\ supplies\ and\ washing\ cars\ for\ \ 4\ each.\ What\ does\ the\ x\ stand\ for?$

1. The cost of the supplies (in dollars)

2. The total profit (in dollars)

3. The number of cars washed

4. The cost (in dollars) per car

Now, to find $x$ stand for.

The equation used to get profit is:

$4x-45=y$

As, given $4 is the money for washing cars each.

So, $x$ here is the number of cars washed.

Hence, $x$ stands for number of cars washed.

Thus, the answer is option 3. The number of cars washed.
