Question

What is x/13-5=25/26

Answer 1

$\frac{x}{13} -5=\frac{25}{26}$    Add 5 on both sides

$\frac{x}{13}=\frac{25}{26}+5$    Make the denominators the same

$\frac{x}{13}=\frac{25}{26}+\frac{130}{26}$

$\frac{x}{13}=\frac{155}{26}$    Multiply 13 on both sides

$(13)\frac{x}{13}=(13)\frac{155}{26}$

$x=\frac{2015}{26}$

$x=\frac{155}{2}$
