this is an algebra question and as far as i can see im baffled. The only thing the question says is state the degree of X

Ummm.. OK apparently the first couple answerers didn't understand your question. The degree of a polynomial is defined to be equal to the largest exponent applied to any appearances of the variable in the polynomial.
In this case, there is only one 'x,' so its exponent is equal to the degree of the polynomial. Although it is not actually written, anything raised to the 1st power is just itself, which is the case with 'x.' Therefore, your answer is that the degree is equal to 1.

hmmm. are you talking about on like a graph or something like that? if so wouldn't x be 90 degrees. if your talking about and equation then in order to find the degree of x i need the rest of the question.

the degree of x is the power of x
Example
x^3 is the third degree
