Hi,

I subtract 13 from a certain number and then divided the result by 3.

The result is the same as adding 3 to the number and then dividing by 5.

Question states***

       | Cross Multiplying to solve 

  5(x-13) = 3(x+3)

  5x - 65 = 3x + 9

    2x = 74

     x = 37 

CHECKING our answer***

 24/3 = 40/5 = 8

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
