He has a total of 43 action figures. Which is the correct equation for amount of action figures?

• 4x + 2x - 6 = 43

• x + 4x + 2x - 6 = 43

• x - 4x + 2x + 6 = 43

Joey has a collection of action figures. He separates them into small, medium, and large figures. He has 4 times as many small figures as medium figures. The number of large figures is 6 less than 2 times the number of medium figures.
