Question

The difference of nine, and a number divided by four is 13.

A. 9+* = 13;y= 16
B. 9-* = 13;y= 16
C.9-4 = 13;y=-16
D. 2-9= 13,=

Answer 1

Option C

Explanation:

We are given that difference of 9 and a number divided by four is 13

We have to translate given sentence into equation

Let y be the number

Divided by 4 then we get

`(y)/(4)`

Difference of 9 and a number divided by four =13

`9-(y)/(4)=13`

`(y)/(4)=9-13=-4`

`y=-4* 4=-16`

`y=-16`

Hence, option C is true.

Answer 2

9 - y/4 = 13; y = -16.

Explanation:

The statement "The difference of nine, and a number divided by four is 13" can be written as an equation in the following way:

9 - y/4 = 13

Now, to find the value of y, we need to solve the equation for y:

→ 9 - y/4 = 13

→ -4 = y/4

→ y = -16.

Therefore, the correct option is the third one.
