Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the question is asking to solve for \(x\),
We can translate the statement "three less than x is equal to 13" into:
\(x-3=13\)
- Three less than x is "x" minus 3
- equals to 13 means "=" 13
Thus we can write \(x-3=13\) [as above]
Solving for x gives us:
\(x-3=13\\x=13+3\\x=16\)
x is 16
