use symbols to write the statement ''13 less than k'' how do i write it?

13 < k

for less than or equal, use 13 <= k

now if you mean the expression, rather than the statement, that would be

k-13

To write the statement "13 less than k" using symbols, you can use the subtraction symbol (-) to represent the word "less than." Here's how you can write it:

k - 13

This means that you are subtracting 13 from the variable k, indicating that you want a value that is 13 less than k.
