Answer:
The number is 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be = x
Five times the difference of twice a number and three can be written as [tex]5(2x-3)[/tex]
Decreased by the sum of the number and eight, [tex](x+8)[/tex]
Hence complete expression becomes:
[tex]5(2x-3)-(x +8)=13[/tex]
Now solving for x;
=> [tex]10x -15- x -8 =13[/tex]
=> [tex]9x- 23=13[/tex]
=> [tex]9x= 36[/tex]
So we get x = 4
The number is 4.
