Hello!

What is the value of x in first case?

Hey....The question was given to me just like this. I came here for help because i'm confused by it.

abhisar · Answer

I know, I am trying to help you. See the question, The height of the plant in pot is x and the height without pot is y. Now if you could follow my questions then I can walk you to the answer. So tell me what is the value of x and y in first set?

abhisar · Answer

In first set of data x = 30 and Y = 18. Can you tell me the difference between x and y?

Sorry. Someone else answered the question for me elsewhere. Thank you for trying to help though! :)
