Answer:

x = 16


Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the question is asking to solve for [tex]x[/tex],

We can translate the statement "three less than x is equal to 13" into:

[tex]x-3=13[/tex]

  • Three less than x is "x" minus 3
  • equals to 13 means "=" 13

Thus we can write [tex]x-3=13[/tex] [as above]

Solving for x gives us:

[tex]x-3=13\\x=13+3\\x=16[/tex]

x is 16
