Answer:
y - x = 69
Step-by-step explanation:
From the figure attached,
Number in each block is the sum of the numbers in the block beneath it.
Therefore, A + 21 = 32 ⇒ A = 11
A + 5 = B ⇒ B = 16
C = 5 + x
D = 32 + B ⇒ D = 32 + 16 = 48
E = B + C ⇒ E = 16 + (5 + x)
⇒ E = 21 + x
y = D + E ⇒ y = 48 + (21 + x)
y = 48 + 21 + x
y = 69 + x
y - x = 69
Therefore, y - x = 69 will be the answer.
