Question

TRANSLATE EACH SENTENCE INTO AN EQUATION THEN SOLVE THE EQUATION.

A number decreased by 7 and then divided by 5 is 13

Answer 1

`(n - 7)/(5) = 13`

Explanation:

First we need to get rid of the fraction by multiplexing both sides by 5

`n - 7 = 13 * 5`

Then we need to simplify 13×5 to 65

`n - 7 = 65`

Then add u to both sides

`n = 65 + 7`

Lastly we need to simplify

`65 + 7 \: to \: 72`

The answer is

`n = 72`

Answer 2

x-7/5=13, x=58

Explanation:

x=58
