solve the equation
13a=65
a.845
b.30
c.5
d.15
Your turn.
What do YOU think the answer is?
Hint: The equation states that 13 times some unknown number is 65.
You need to find that unknown number.
it is 845
Nope. You must be kidding.
13 * 845 does not equal 65
To solve the equation 13a = 65, we need to isolate the variable 'a'. Here's how to do it:
1. Divide both sides of the equation by 13:
(13a)/13 = 65/13
This simplifies to:
a = 5
Therefore, the solution to the equation 13a = 65 is a = 5.
So, the correct answer is c. 5.
