Answer:
x greater than or equal to 4
Unknown = x
the quotient of x and 12 is x/12 than 49 more than that is 53,
(x/12)+49=53, now use basic math and solve
-49 from both side,
x/12=4
*12 to both side,
x=48
therefore the unknown number is 48
I would say your friends assumption is wrong. Why?

Hope this helped! c:
At the beining, he has 76
that is at x=0
y=mx+76
find m
given
when x=2, y=100
find m
100=2m+76
minus 76 both sides
24=2m
divide both sides by 2
12=m
the equatin is
y=12x+76
