Question

A number is taking away from 13 and the result is 4 what is the number?

Answer 1

Let x represent the number.

A number is taken away from 13:

13 - x

The result is 4:

13 - x = 4

to find the number, Let's solve for x:

13 - x = 4

Subtract 13 from both sides:

13 - 13 - x = 4 - 13

-x = -9

Divide both sides by -1:

`x\text{ = 9}`

Therefore the number is 9

If 9 is taken away from 13 the result is 4

ANSWER:

9
