Compare these equations

Question

22 x 2 + 6 = X
6 + 22 x 2 = Y
Which Statement Is True?
A, X > Y
B, X < Y
C, X = Y
D, X + Y = 0

Answer 1

Let's evaluate both equations step by step.

1. For \( X \): \[ X = 22 \times 2 + 6 \] Calculate \( 22 \times 2 \): \[ 22 \times 2 = 44 \] Now add 6: \[ X = 44 + 6 = 50 \]

2. For \( Y \): \[ Y = 6 + 22 \times 2 \] Again, calculate \( 22 \times 2 \): \[ 22 \times 2 = 44 \] Now add 6: \[ Y = 6 + 44 = 50 \]

Now we can compare \( X \) and \( Y \): \[ X = 50 \quad \text{and} \quad Y = 50 \]

Thus, \( X = Y \).

The correct statement is: C, X = Y.
