Question

Find the values of x and y given that 48∘=(5x−17).

x=?

Answer 1

The value of x is 13.

In the given question, the expression can only be used to determine the value of x. As such the value of y can not be determined using the same expression.

So that;

`48^(o)` = (5x − 17)

48 + 17 = 5x

65 = 5x

x = 13

Thus the value of x is 13.
