Answer:

Any value

Explanation:

X is a variable, meaning it can be any number, and they are just using our variable, x, as a little mask to hide the exact value. In math, we will usually need to find x by solving different equations.

Examples:

x + 4 = 7

Know, x in this case is 3 because we just know 3 + 4 = 7, but x can be any value, and sometimes it gets more complicated than this. For example, we can have something like:

2x + 8 = 16

In this case, we need to have multiple steps to solve for x. First, we minus 8 from both sides:

2x = 8

Then we divide by 2:

x = 4

So, we know x = 4. In conclusion, x is a variable that is hiding a value, and you will need to either solve or substitute x. Meaning x can be any value.

Hope this Helped!
