Question

The equation x + y = z relates the whole numbers x, y, and z. How does z compare to x?

If it helps, consider an example where you substitute 3 for x, 5 for y, and 8 for z.

y is z less than x.
y is z more than x.
x is y less than z.
x is y more than z.

x+y=z

by using transposition

x = z-y

whatever x is, it is equal to the value of y taken from z
