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.
Without any calculations it's evident it can't be neither B (both numbers are even, so they're divisible by 2) nor C (the numbers end in 0 and 5, so they're divisible by 5).
A.

Both numbers have a factor of 3, so they're not relatively prime.
That means it must be D. But, let's check it.

Indeed, those two numbers are relatively prime.
If three dozens took 15 minutes that five minutes a dozen and with six dozens it would be 30 minutes
Answer:
