this is the code I currently have
clear all; close all; clc
f= @(x) Average1(x)-65;
engineering= 30; % Intiall estimate
function Average = Average1(engineering) % final grade
engineering = fsolve0(f,engineering)
calculus= 55;
chemistry= 76;
physics= 85;
english= 50;
a= calculus+chemistry+physics+english+engineering;
Average = a/5;
end
when I try to run it i don't get any errors or outputs.
I am trying to make a program that will take 4 veriable values and a wanted avereage of 65 to find the 5th veriable (in this case engineering) minimum value to get a overall average of 65. I am unsure of what am doing wrong I know that the answer for Engineering should be 59 to get a average of 65.

f(engineering)
function Average = Average1(engineering)
calculus= 55;
chemistry= 76;
physics= 85;
english= 50;
a= calculus+chemistry+physics+english+engineering;
Average = a/5;
end

syms x
solve((55+76+85+50+x)/5 == 65)
