Let x be the level of the game.

Since at level 1, there are 5 hidden treasures then we can represent it as

x + c = 5

Solve for c

1 + c = 5

c = 5 - 1

c = 4

Therefore, we can represent the level number in the game to determine the number of treasures as

x + 4

Complete the equation by letting y be the number of hidden treasures in a certain level. This finally becomes y = x + 4.
