8 less than a number n is -13

Question

can you turn it into an equation 

Answer 1

Hello, Hannah,

     I believe that you can turn these words into an equation.  Let me give you an example of how it works. 

Label key words and numbers.

 —5                    n      =                                            n—5        =    -25            answer

5 less than a number n is -25.          5 less than a number       is

 

Now write the words like I did and label the key words and numbers, and you will have your equation.  Note:  An equation has an equal sign.
