Answer:

The number is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be = x

Five times the difference of twice a number and three can be written as 5(2x-3)

Decreased by the sum of the number and eight, (x+8)

Hence complete expression becomes:

5(2x-3)-(x +8)=13

Now solving for x;

=> 10x -15- x -8 =13

=> 9x- 23=13

=> 9x= 36

So we get x = 4

The number is 4.
