What does x represent?

So, what is the minimum value x can be?

Now, looking at the venn diagram, what is the maximum value x can be? Remember that these numbers in the venn diagram must be non-negative whole numbers.

If y is zero, then x is 15.

Each additional to x makes y one more. Ah! it becomes a subset.
