Answer:

2006

Explanation:

The article about the Florida middle school students breaking world record which is dated on a year (x) says the old record took place two years earlier.

Therefore, find the year in which the record was dated.

The year the event took place is, 2004.

How many years earlier is this according to the record, 2.

The date the record days is x.

This shows that there is a difference between the year that the event was recorded by the article and the year that the event took place.

This means the year it took place is 2 years minus the recorded year.

2004 = X - 2.

{{Assume that...

1. There is a bridge between Lagos And Ogun City.

Lagos (citizens + you) = Ogun city (citizens).

2. = Is that bridge

3. You are a citizen of Lagos. This is Lagos + You

4. This equals Ogun city as in Lagos + You = Ogun City.

5. As a citizen of Lagos, and you cross the bridge to Ogun, you are not a citizen of Ogun. But you have added to Ogun. And in order to find you

6. Which means when you count the citizens of Lagos City, defined by Lagos.

You will have

Lagos = Ogun - You.}}

So when you have

X - 2 = 2004. And 2 crosses the bridge, the symbol becomes + at the other side.

Meaning X = 2004 + 2 = 2006

The year that the record was recorded is 2006. Two years later, after the record took place in 2004.

Answer:

2006 is the year in which record-breaking event took place

Missing Problem Statement:

I have attached the article picture that shows about Florida middle school students regarding the problem statement.

Explanation:

Let X be the Year the florida students broke the record,

Florida students broke the record, the old record that took place was 2 years earlier as shown in the article.

Year record was broken - 2 = Year old record took place

X-2 = 2004

X= 2004+2

X = 2006

2006 is the year, the record-breaking event took place.
