Question

2x – (5 – x) = 13 + x solve step by step please

Answer 1

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

2x - ( 5 - x ) = 13 + x      Equation

Step 2:

2x - 5 + x = 13 + x     Open the parenthises

Step 3:

3x - 5 = 13 + x      Add

Step 4:

3x = 18 + x    Add 5 on both sides

Step 5:

2x = 18     Subtract x on both sides

Step 6:

18 ÷ 2     Divide

Answer:

x = 9

Hope This Helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed {x = 9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of $x$:

$2x - (5 - x) = 13 + x$

-To find the opposite of $5 - x$, find the opposite of each term:

$2x - (5 - x) = 13 + x$

$2x - 5 + x = 13 + x$

-Combine like terms:

$2x - 5 + x = 13 + x$

$3x - 5 = 13 + x$

-Take $x$ and subtract it from $3x$:

$3x - 5 - x = 13 + x - x$

$2x - 5 = 13$

-Add $5$ on both sides:

$2x - 5 + 5 = 13 + 5$

$2x = 18$

-Divide both sides by $2$:

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{18}{2}$

$\boxed {x = 9}$

So, therefore, the value of $x$ is $9$.
