Question

13 is no more than 5 less than a number. What is the minimum value of the number?​

Answer 1

18 is the minimum value.

Explanation:

Set up an equation:

13
`\leq` x - 5

Add 5 on both sides to isolate x:

(13) + 5
`\leq` (x - 5) + 5

18
`\leq` x

X can be equal to or greater than 18 so the minimum value of the number is 18.

Hope this helps!
