Answer:

The number is 4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the variable n.

[tex]\frac{n+4}{3} = \frac{n+13}{5}[/tex]

Multiply so they have common denominators.

[tex]\frac{5n+20}{15} =\frac{3n+39}{15}[/tex]

Now we can multiply each side by 15 and solve.

[tex]5n+20=3n+39[/tex]

Isolate the variable.

[tex]2n=19[/tex]

Divide by the coefficient.

[tex]n=9.5[/tex]

Now we can plug it in to check.

[tex]9.5 + 4 = 13.5[/tex]

[tex]\frac{13.5}{3} =4.5[/tex]

[tex]9.5+13=22.5[/tex]

[tex]\frac{22.5}{5} =4.5[/tex]

So the number is 4.5
