3x - 2 = 13

Add 2 on both sides

3x - 2 + 2 = 13 + 2
3x = 13 + 2
3x = 15

Divide both sides by 3.

3x/3 = 15/3

x = 15/3

x = 5

Your final answer is A. 5<span>.</span>

It is very important to read and understand the words of the problem before getting down to solving the given question. Numerous information's of immense importance are already given in the question. Those information's will come in handy while solving the question.
Let us assume the unknown number to be = x
Then
3x - 2 = 13
3x = 13 + 2
3x = 15
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we get
(3/3) *  x = 15/3
1 * x = 5
x = 5
So the unknown number is 5. I hope the procedure is not very tough for you to understand.

A snowmobile traveled 32 miles in 213 hours.
patriot [66]
The average speed of the snowmobile can be obtained by using the formula: speed = distance/time which was also given in the problem statement. This means that the average speed refers to how far you have traveled in a period of time. In this case, the snowmobile traveled 32 miles in 213 hours. We then simply divide the distance, 32 miles, by the time it took for the snowmobile to travel such distance which is 213 hours. The average speed of the automobile is calculated to be 0.1502 miles per hour. When rounded off to the nearest tenth, the final answer is then 0.2 miles per hour.
