Answer 1

English statement 'two more than a number equivalent to Y' can be algebraically represented as:

• y = x + 2

Explanation:

Two more than a number means we need to add 2 to a number.

• Let suppose the number be = x

• Two more than the number 'x' = x+2

• As it is stated that two more than a number equivalent to Y.
