Question

One number is 13 less than another number. Let x represent the greater number. Write the sum of these two numbers.

Answer 1

2x - 13

Explanation:

If one number is 13 less than another number, we can represent the greater number as x and the smaller number as (x-13).

So, the sum of these two numbers can be represented as:

x + (x-13) = 2x - 13

Therefore, the sum of these two numbers is 2x - 13.
