The number = 9
Working:
n - 5 = 13 - n
(+ 5 on both sides)
n = 18 - n
(+ n on both sides)
n + n = 18
= 2n = 18
(divide both sides by 2)
n = 9
So...
9 - 5 = 13 - 9
(9 - 5 = 4)
(13 - 9 = 4)

The quotient of a number and 3 decreased by 5 is almost 10". Match the statement with the inequality. 2/3-5 greater than equal to 10 3x-5 less than equal to 10 x/3 -5 less than equal to 10 3x-5 greater than 10
three fourths is greater than five eights
That depends on what the number is which you are decreasing by. It is a number less than or equal to 12. Beyond that nothing more can be said without further information.
The number is less than 18.
