The Sandhill School carnival sold \( \$ 44 \) worth of advance tickets. The carnival organizers will also sell tickets at the door for \( \$ 4 \) each. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the number of tickets sold at the door, \( x \), and the total ticket sales in dollars, \( y \). Do not include dollar signs in the equation. \( y=\square \)

The total ticket sales in dollars is made up of the advance tickets sales and the sales from the tickets sold at the door. Since the advance tickets totaled \( 44 \) dollars and each door ticket costs \( 4 \) dollars, the equation representing this relationship can be written as: \( y = 44 + 4x \) Here, \( y \) represents the total ticket sales, and \( x \) represents the number of tickets sold at the door.
