  1. 13

  2. 26

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Let the number be x. The problem states that when 13 is subtracted from the number, the result is half the original number: x - 13 = x/2. Multiply both sides by 2: 2x - 26 = x. Subtract x from both sides: x = 26.
