There were approximately 11,000 students enrolled at Western Carolina last year. This figure goes up by about 225 students each year. Create an equation that can be used to find y, the total number of students, if x represents the number of years?

• y = 225x + 11,000

• y = 11000x + 225

• y = 225 - 11000x

• y = 225x - 11000
