three less than “x” is equal to 13

Answer 1

Fir this simple problem you need to create an equation , because of the word "equal" meaning equals to.

Less mean subtraction.

X - 3 = 13 I am guessing here that you want to find X=? if this is not the case and you trying to write and algebra expression , that is your answer; X-3 +13

If you need to find X.

X - 3 =13. adding +3 in both sides of the equation i got:

+3. +3

X= 16 Answer.

Note: if yu need to check your answer , plug x=3 back in the original equation that you created.

X - 3 = 13

16 -3 =13

13=13. check √
