Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be [tex]x[/tex]. Writing an equation in terms of the number, [tex]x[/tex], gives

[tex]5x=13x-16[/tex].

Adding [tex]16[/tex] to both sides gives

[tex]5x+16=13x[/tex].

Then, subtracting [tex]5x[/tex] from both sides gives

[tex]8x=16[/tex],

and dividing by 8 on both sides simplifies to

[tex]x=2[/tex].
