[-371743] Poseidon [Moderator] :: March 3, 2020, 10:08 a.m.

Dear Lords and Ladies, 

As commanders of countless battles, your knowledge and skill are based on a multitude of experiences. 
Among other things, this includes having a keen eye on your army, regarding the number of troops under your banners. 

During one of your daily visits you want to discuss the number of the recently recruited troops with your vasals. 
But none of them seem to meet your gaze, as they look down to the floor, ashamed of something which you cannot quite grasp yet.  
The vasal to your right slowly pushes the reason for this prevalent embarassment towards you.

Self assured, you're having a look at the pamphlet and are met with the following calculation: 



Well commander, - it is your turn as a paragon of calculus to solve this riddle of numbers for your vasals. Make sure to announce your answer in this discussion in order to share it with everyone.

The answer is 9 
And it's not calculus its Algebra. Calculus involves differentiation and antidifferentiation and a whole load of other stuff that makes you question whether it is wise to continue consuming oxygen

use x,y,z
3y=15
y=5
x+y+z=12; x+z=7
substitute : z=7-x
x=4
4+2z=10
z=3

2y+z-x
10+3-4
9

ANSWER IS 9
