# Task Definition:

Find the value of "X" in the following linear equation, X= (32^3 \* Y) - (26^3 + 25^2 + 15) Look at the picture to find the value of "Y"  To find the value of "Y" count the number of stars on the picture. 

# Sample Solutions:

### Method#1

As Y=12 ( Detsember is the 12th month which is written on the board)

X=(32³×Y)-(26³+25²+15)  
X=(32³×12)-(26³+25²+15)  
X=(32768×12)-(17576+625+15)  
X=393216-18216  
X=375000

### Method#2

to find the value of "Y" find the numbers of stars in the picture which is 12 so Y=12

## Task Meta data:

The task answer 375000 leads to the number of estimated employees working in mining industry in Canada in 2014.
