Answer:

-24

Explanation:

We are given two equations and are asked to solve if one equals a certain amount to the other.

Let's focus on x + 3 = 13, we need to first figure out what is x. Which is very simple, what plus 3 equals 13?

10 of course, therefore x = 10, and we can implement into the other equation.

5x - 74

Since x = 10, we can substitute x with 10 and then multiply.

5(10) - 74

50 - 74

What is 50 - 74?

-24
