There is little context to go off of but the answer should be variable
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 4 to both sides
13 + 4 = w/-3 - 4 + 4
17 = w/-3 Multiply through by -3
17*-3 = -3*(w/-3)
-51 = w
- 3 ( x - 1 ) = 18
- or, 3x - 3 = 18
- or, 3x = 18 - 3
- or, 3x = 15
- or, x = 15 ÷ 3
- or, x = 5

<u>x </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>5</u>
