Question

5 more than one eighth of a number equals 13

Answer 1

x=64

Explanation:

5+(1/8)x=13

Subtract 5 to both sides to get (1/8)x=8

Multiply by the reciprocal of 1/8 (8) on both sides. The 1/8 and 8 cancel and the answer should be x=64

Answer 2

Explanation:

Ten more than x x + 10

A number added to 5 5 + x

A number increased by 13 x + 13

5 less than 10 10 - 5

A number decreased by 7 x - 7

Difference between x and 3 x - 3

Difference between 3 and x 3 - x

Twice a number 2x

Ten percent of x 0.10x

Ten times x 10x

Quotient of x and 3 x/3

Quotient of 3 and x 3/x

Five is three more than a

number

5 = x + 3

The product of 2 times a

number is 10

2x = 10

One half a number is 10 x/2 = 10

Five times the sum of x and 2 5(x + 2)

Seven is greater than x 7 > x

Five times the difference of a

number and 4

5(x - 4)

Ten subtracted from 10 times a

number is

that number plus 5

10x - 10 = x

+ 5

The sum of 5x and 10 is equal

to the product of x and 15

5x + 10 =

15x

The sum of two consecutive

integers

(x) + (x + 1)

The sum of two consecutive

even integers

(x) + (x + 2)

The sum of two consecutive odd

integers

(x) + (x + 2)
