Made sense after I looked at it a bit but I've never seen a question worded like that before so it did throw me for a loop.
Anyway abstract reasoning development is cool and good and kids should learn it, this guy's probably got that capitalist realist brain that thinks we should be teaching kids exclusively shit like, idk welding or making spreadsheets.
yeah, there's infinite solutions (ie the equation becomes tautological) if you set the unknown coefficient to 6 because both sides simplify to the same equation. the question is just testing if you know what makes it impossible to solve for y.

Wait, so it is 6?
