Answer:

x×2+13=5

Step-by-step explanation:

We use x as the unknown number, and we just put what's in the word problem! The answer is in the question.

Equation Set-Up

x×2+13=5

Remember order of operations! (PEMDAS)

Then you solve the equation.

Because of PEMDAS, we know that multiplication is the first thing we have to do.

x×2=2x

So now, our equation looks like this.

2x+13=5

We subtract 13 from the +13 to cancel it out, but that means that we also have to subtract 13 from the 5 on the other side. We are now left with this.

2x=-8

Then, we divide -8 by 2, which gives us...

x=-4

Pablo's number is -4.

I hope I helped! Have a great day.
