The answer should be 2x-5
Answer:
9 is your answer for x.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable, x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
PEMDAS is the order of operations, & =
Parenthesis
Exponent (& Roots)
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
First, subtract 13 & 8x from both sides:
2x (-8x) + 13 (-13) = 8x (-8x) - 41 (-13)
2x - 8x = -41 - 13
Simplify. Combine like terms:
-6x = -54
Isolate the variable, x. Divide -6 from both sides:
(-6x)/-6 = (-54)/-6
x = (-54)/(-6)
x = 9
x = 9 is your answer.

Just subtract the amount of miles she went back from the miles she went forward 5 - 5 = 0
