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:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Make y the subject of the equation
y = -4 - 6x
2. Substitute values for guess and check
8 = -4 - (6 x 2)
8 = -4 - 12
This is incorrect.
2 = -4 - (6 x 1)
2 = -4 -6
This is incorrect.
-10 = -4 - (6 x 1)
-10 = -4 -6
This is correct.
The correct answer is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Money = Rs 1800
Ratio = 2:3:4
1st Person = 2x
2nd Person = 3x
3rd Person = 4x
X = ?
2x + 3x + 4x = 1800
9x = 1800
X = 200
1st Person = 2x = 2×200 = <u>Rs 400</u>
2nd Person = 3x = 3×200 = <u>Rs 600</u>
3rd Person = 4x = 4×200 = <u>Rs 800</u>
