I love how people think they understand math well, think the solution is 2, and then argue it is ambiguous instead of acknowledging they were wrong.


I could see how someone could interpret it that way. Does that make me wrong stating there are two solutions? Not all math problems have one solution. Some have no solution. Some have infinite solutions.

I can too. It is easy to understand why someone would use "your" instead of "you're", but one is correct and one is incorrect depending on the context.

Agreed. However, the OP, as written, has one answer. I'm not upset that you or others were confused and got the wrong answer (2).
