Taylor gets on an elevator and goes down 4 floors. She exits on the 18th floor. Write an equation to find out what floor Taylor originally entered the elevator. *

22

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting floor = x

Number of floors traveled = 4

Direction of travel = downward

Final destination = 18

Using the equation above, Taylor's original starting point or where she go is ;

x - 4 = 18

x = 18 + 4

x = 22

Therefore , Taylor originally entered into the elevator on the 22nd floor.

n=9

step-by-step explanation:

7 times a number = 7n

decreased by 13 = 7n-13

same as is =

5 times the number = 5n

increased by 5 = 5n+5

7n-13 = 5n+5

2n=18

n=9
