What 3D figure/shape is it?
We can follow the following steps to make an equation and solve it.
Step 1:
five less than 13 means we have to subtract 5 from 13
so it becomes 13-5
Step 2:
A number y is five less than thirteen.
Now in algebraic expressions, "is" stands for "="
So we have:

Step 3:
Solving the equation to find y.

Subtracting 5 from 13, we get :
y=8
Answer:
For the given equation the solution is y=8.
If it's add you subtract if it's subtract you add
16 + 4x = 10 + 14
16 + 4x = 24.
4x = 24 - 16
4x = 8
x = 8 ÷ 4
x = 2
8x = 2 × 8
8x = 16
Final answer = 16.
