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.
Answer: 15
Step-by-step explanation:
I am assuming the equation is set up like this:
(x+9)/3 = 8
Multipy by 3 to both sides
x + 9 = 24
Subtract 9
x = 15
-4.5 if you were to graph the linear function.
A) the probability is 1 in 6 (1/6); there are six numbers and only one is 6, therefore 1 in 6
B) the probability is 5 in 6 (5/6); there are 6 numbers and only one is not 6, therefore 5 in 6
C) the probability of rolling a 6 is 1 in 6 and the probability of not rolling a 6 is 5 in 6
D) the probability is again 1 in 6 (1/6); 120 divided by 6 is 20, and 20/120 simplifies to 1/6
thats the best i can do to explain
