Change the messy words into numerals
3     times          a number         minus            2           equals         13
3          ×                n                     -                 2               =               13

3n - 2 = 13
take 2 to the other side
3n - 2 + (2)  = 13 + (2)
3n = 15

Divide by 3 on either sides to isolate n
\frac{3n}{3} = \frac{15}{3}
3 and 3 cancels out

n = 5

check:
3 times 5 minus 2 equals 13
3     ×    5       -      2     =     13
15    -      2        =          13
13            =               13

The number is 5

Use the zero product property
x - 3 = 0, and x - 2 = 0
x = 3, and x = 2
Solution: (3,0) and (2,0)

Please help.. I’m stuck on this question

Answer: The answer is 1

Step-by-step explanation: The distance between -7 and -3 is 4 then half the distance in between -7 and -3 is going to be -5 because we just clarified that the distance between -7 and -3 is 4 so we did 4/2 and got 2 so we can figure out whats the distance between each point. Now that we figured that out we can determine what value the blue dot is if the value between each point is 2 then we can make out what the rest of the points on the line. If we from -3 to the blue point that would be 1.
