Which equation shows the number of bottles left after x days? A family buys a case of water with 48 bottles and drinks 5 bottles per day.
y = 48x + 5
y = 48 – 5x
y = -5 + 48x
y = -5x – 48

The correct equation is: y = 48 – 5x.
Explanation: In this equation, (y) represents the number of bottles left after (x) days. You start with 48 bottles, and each day, the family drinks 5 bottles. Therefore, for each day that passes (each increase in (x)), you subtract 5 from the initial 48, resulting in the equation (y = 48 – 5x).
