Thirteen less than 8 times a number is equal to eleven more than six times the number
:
Just write an equation for what it says, let x = "a number":
8x - 13 = 6x + 11
Subtract 6x from both sides
8x - 6x = 13 + 11
Add 13 to both sides
2x = 24
divide both sides by 2
x = 12

Check solution in original equation;
8(12) - 13 = 6(12) + 11
96 - 13 = 72 + 11
83 = 83
