Hi,
I subtract 13 from a certain number {{{ highlight_green(x) }}}and then divided the result by 3.
The result is the same as adding 3 to the number{{{ highlight_green(x) }}} and then dividing by 5.
Question states***
{{{(x-13)/3 = (x+3)/5}}}       | 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.
