Answer:
Two more than eight times a number is the same as 13 less than three times the number. What is the number? (Fourth option)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first option tells us 2(8+x) = 3x -13, which is incorrect.
The second option tells us 8*2 + x = 3x - 13, which is incorrect.
The third option could be tempting to choose, but it said said 3 times the difference of x and 13, but that would mean 3(x-13) which would give us 3x -39. Therefore, C is incorrect.
The fourth option tells us that 8x +2 = 3x -13, which would make sense. Therefore, D is correct.
