Question

i subtract 13 from a certain number and then divide the result by three the result is the same as adding 3 to the number and then dividing by 5 find the number

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 13 from a certain number +highlight_green%28x%29+and then divided the result by 3.

The result is the same as adding 3 to the number+highlight_green%28x%29+ and then dividing by 5.

%28x-13%29%2F3+=+%28x%2B3%29%2F5 | Cross Multiplying to solve

5(x-13) = 3(x+3)

5x - 65 = 3x + 9

2x = 74

x = 37

24/3 = 40/5 = 8

Answer 2

Answer:

subtract 13 from a certain number and then divided the result by 3.

The result is the same as adding 3 to the number and then dividing by 5.

Cross Multiplying to solve

5(x-13) = 3(x+3)

5x - 65 = 3x + 9

2x = 74

x = 37

24/3 = 40/5 = 8
