This is unclear...what is the exponent for the x and is the 1/2 on the outside also an exponent?
Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
Unknown number = x
If twice the difference of x and 8 is 6:
2(x-8) = 6
2x-16 = 6
2x = 6 + 16
2x = 22
x = 22/2
x = 11

Answer:
The equation is:
and the number is 72.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to use mathematical notation to convert the given statement into an equation. As we don't know the exact value of number, we have to use a variable in place of the number.
Let x be the required number then
"A number decreased by 7"

"and then divided by 5"

" is 13."

For solving, multiplying both sides of equation by "5"

Adding 7 on both sides of equation

Hence,
The equation is:
and the number is 72.
There are infinite solutions to this , so and coordinate with than x value of 2 will lie on x=2
