To find the value of x , bring the variable to the left side and bring all the remaining values to the right side. simplify the values to find the result.
Emily is 12, Samantha is 14, and Lauren is 16. Basically all you do to solve this problem is add numbers that are two apart until you find something.
Ex. 2+4+6=12 4+6+8=18 so on and so forth.
When y is 0 , what is x? that’s the starting point, i think the answer is 5.5
