Determine if x can be expressed in terms of y

Easy Problem Solving Algebra

Let x and y be two integers. We want to determine whether we can definitively express x in terms of y. Consider the following two statements:

Statement (1): y = 2x + 3.

Statement (2): x = y - 3.

Is there enough information from these statements to determine the value of x?

Statement (1) alone is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.

Statement (2) alone is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.

Both statements (1) and (2) together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient.

Each statement alone is sufficient.

Statements (1) and (2) together are not sufficient.
