5 more than one-eighth of a number equals 13. What is the number?

64

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x, then

x + 5 = 13 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

x = 8 ( multiply both sides by 8 )

x = 64

The number is 64

The number is 64

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

1/8 x +5 = 13

Subtract 5 from each side

1/8x +5-5 = 13-5

1/8 x = 8

Multiply each side by 8

8*1/8x = 8*8

x = 64

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
