Answer:


(13+x)/(2)

Explanation:

"A number" is the part of the question you don't know, and therefore is the variable. Let's call it
x from now on.

So, when you add a number to 13 it means you are increasing 13 by that number, or
13+x.

To divide it all by 2, simply put the above expression on a fraction with a denominator of 2:


(13+x)/(2)

And there is your answer.
