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.
Aurora Springs and Glendale are 48 miles apart. You would take how much one inch is and multiply it by 4 to get how much 4 inches is. so 12*4=48
An integer is close to zero if it is "small".
By small, we mean that it is small in absolute value. In fact, for any given distance
, there are two integers that are
units away from zero:
and
.
So, for example, -6 is close to zero than 8, because -6 is six units away from zero, while 8 is eight units away from zero.
So, the answer is B, -8, because it is 8 units away from zero. The other options A, C and D are, respectively, 12, 10 and 14 units away from zero.
