Answer:the number is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let x be the number  13 was subtracted from so  that the difference becomes x-13

i.  dividing  the resulting difference by 5, then  (x-13)/5

ii.  Multiplying  the quotient by 7 makes  the expression become (x-13)/5 x 7

 with the product coming  to -7  we have our final equation as

(x-13)/5 x 7 = -7

Step 2 -----solving  the equation

(x-13)/5 x 7 = -7

Ist  divide  both sides by 7,

(x-13)/5 =-1

cross multiplying gives

x-13=-5

x= -5+ 13

x=8

the number is 8

nikklg [1K]

A line totally can have a line of symmetry. while it does not have width (therefore cannot put the line of symmetry through its "width"), it does have a length like any other shape. If we take a 4 unit line, we could put the line of symmetry at the 2 unit mark.

How many lots of 10 second are there in 10 minutes
Vlad [161]

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

We can easily solve this by finding out how many 60 seconds are in 10 minutes, and then dividing by 10.

To do that, multiply 60 seconds by 10, since there are 60 seconds in each minute.

60*10=600. There are 600 seconds in ten minutes.

Now, divide by 10.

600/10=60

There are 60 intervals of 10 seconds in 10 minutes.

Hope this helps!

Write 5 as a ratio of two integers
tino4ka555 [31]

The number 5 is a rational number, so you must be able to express it as a quotient, and you can. Dividing any number by 1 gives you the original number, so to express an integer like 5 as a quotient, you simply write 5/1. The same is true for negative numbers: -5 = -5/1
