Question

Seven times a number is 65 less than thirteen times the same number. Find the number.

Answer 1

Answer:

13/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

7( number ) = 65 - 13( number)

let the number be x

7(x) = 65 - 13(x)

7x + 13x = 65

20x = 65

x = 65/20 = 13/4

check: 7(13/4) = 65 - 13(13/4)

91/4 = 65 - 169/4

91/4. = (260 - 169)/4

91/4 = 91/4
