Answer:
X could be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.
So, your final answer could be either 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, or 59.
2y+4=3(y-1)
2y+4=3y-3
4+3=3y-2y
Y=7
X=2
Numbers can be expressed, ordered and compared by a lot of
mathematical principles, properties, models and paradigms. There are different
properties of numbers to associate, group and distribute numbers. For example
commutative property of addition, 1 + 2 = 3 can be 3 = 1 + 2. Moreover, numbers
can be expressed by mathematical form, thus 100 wherein 1 is in the place order
of hundreds. And so on… other examples can be mathematical symbols or
inequality to compare numbers. For example, 1 > 2. One is less than 2.
You have to explain how you knew to use 55 and 120, not another option.
Hope it helped! :)
