How to write algebraic expression?
Algebraic expression are the expression which consist the variables, coefficients of variables and constants.
The algebraic expression are used represent the general problem in the mathematical way to solve them.
The statement given in the problem is "13 less than the product of 4 and a number, n, is 5".
Here, the 13 less than the product of n and 4 (n×4-13) is equal to the number 5. In the equation form,
[tex]4\times n-13=5[/tex]
Add number 13 both side and simplify it further,
[tex]4\times n-13+13=5+13\\4n=18\\n=\dfrac{18}{4}\\n=4.5[/tex]
Thus, the value of n which makes the statement "13 less than the product of 4 and a number, n, is 5" true, is 4.5.
