How to say "Sth. is larger than Sth. where the margin is X" in idiomatic Englist?
I am not a native speaker of English. I am writing an academic paper and I have a question.
Suppose I have a variable denoted as X, then I want to say "Sth. is larger than Sth. where the margin is X". I konw if X is a known explicit number, like 5, I can say "Sth. is 5 larger than Sth.". But I just want to use the notation X, then how may I say that? Please help me, thanks!
