Question:

If x + y = 13, then (x - 8)+ (y - 5)3 is:

Options:

2197

0

169

13

Correct Answer:

0

Explanation:

If x + y = 13, then (x - 8)+ (y - 5)3

Subtract 13 from both the sides,

x - 8 + y - 5 = 13 - 13

x - 8 + y - 5 = 0

now we can say x = 8 and y = 5

Put the values of x and y in the required equation,

(x - 8)+ (y - 5)3 = (8 - 8)+ (5 - 5)3

(x - 8)+ (y - 5)3 = 0
