Question

I need help with this problem

Answer 1

y = x-13

Explanation:

So this question asks for two numbers. Let's call them x and y.

Since we know that x is larger than y, and the difference between them is 13, x must be greater than y by 13. So, x = y + 13
x = y + 13 isn't what the question is asking for though, so we have to isolate y to make one side contain only x and numbers. To do that, subtract both sides by 13 to get:
x - 13 = y

rearrange:

y = x - 13
