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

Answer:

y = 13x + 86

Step-by-step explanation:

y−8 =13(x+6); distribute the 13

y - 8 = 13x + 78; now add 8 to both sides

y = 13x + 86; this is the slope intercept form

A circle is 360° all the way around; therefore, if you divide anarc's<span> degree measure by 360°, you find the fraction of the circle's circumference that the </span>arc<span> makes up. Then, if you multiply the length all the way around the circle (the circle's circumference) by that fraction, you get the length along the</span>arc<span>.</span>
