-13 is 4 less than a number n

n - 4 = -13

Think of it like this.  Do you know what 4 less than a number n is?  Say n=5.  What's 4 less than 5?  That's 1.  What's 4 less than, say 7?  3.  We can write an expression: n-4.

So, if -13 is 4 less than n, or n-4, we have an equation: n-4 = -13 .  Are you familiar with negative numbers?  Well, what's 1-2?  That's -1.  Why?  Well, that's equal to 1-(1+1), which is equal to 1-1-1.  1-1=0, so this simplifies to 0-1.  Can you get any lower than 0?  Yes: using negatives!  0-1 equals 0 + -1.  Just like 0+1=1, 0 + -1 = -1.

Anyway, now we know about negative numbers.  Just think of -13 as 13 less than 0.  So we have n-4 = -13.  This could be your expression, if that's all you need.

Now, to solve, we need to find n, so we need to isolate it by adding 4 (the inverse operation) to both sides.  n-4+4 = -13+4.  n-4+4 equals n, but what's -13 + 4?  Well, if you're 13 below 0, but then you add another 4, then...you're 9 below 0, or -9!  So, n = -9.

Answer: n-4 = -13 OR n = -9

From the equation y−3=−2(x+1), identify the slope and a point on the line.
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

slope = - 2, point on line = (- 1, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

y - 3 = - 2(x + 1) ← is in point- slope form

with slope m = - 2 and (a, b ) = (- 1, 3 )

thomas argues that rational 27 divided by rational 3 is rational. mateo argues that the quotient between rational 27 and rationa
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Rational

Step-by-step explanation:

A number that cannot be expressed that way is irrational. For example, one third in decimal form is 0.33333333333333 (the threes go on forever). However, one third can be express as 1 divided by 3, and since 1 and 3 are both integers, one third is a rational number.
