Answer: Required variable expression. [tex]x-13=11[/tex]
The value of x is 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number.
Given statement: "thirteen less than the total of a number and eleven."
Expression for "thirteen less than the total of a number" = [tex]x-13[/tex]
Now , the complete expression will be : [tex]x-13=11[/tex]
To simplify, we add 13 on both the sides , we get
[tex]x-13+13=11+13\\\\\Rightarrow\ x= 24[/tex]
Hence, the value of x is 24.
