It does not mention the minimum value of x or y

In here, It does not mention which minimum value x or y. which answer should I put?

You’re given an expression x^2 + 4x + 3 and are asked to find the smallest possible value of that expression irrespective of what x is.

then the answer should be x = -2 =, but why the answer is -1, which is y minimum value.

You’re not asked for the minimum value of x.

If not specified, you can assume “value” means output → the result of the equation so y

got it. that means if it is not mention specific minimum value, then by default the answer is y value or the output value. right?
