x = y - (50/y), where x and y are both > 0

If the value of y is doubled in the equation above, the value of x will

decrease

stay the same

increase four fold

increase to more than double

The best approach is to pick a number that satisfies the rules that x and y are greater than 0.

So for example you could choose 25 for y.

The value of x before doubling is then 25 - 50/25 = 23

The value after doubling y will be 50 - 50/50 = 49, which is more than double.

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
