Is the solution unique?

Here is one

9 + 1 = 6 + 4
4 + 5 = 7 + 2
5 + 8 = 8 + 5
1 + 3 = 5 + X

Please refrain from posting questions and answers (!) that could affect decisions in real life.

We don't do it in case of car accidents, so we shouldn't do it in the realm of assessments. Furthermore, we do not solve homework questions, of any kind.

Thank you.
