Step-by-step explanation (Question 1):
<u>Step 1: (Question 1): Subtract x from both sides.</u>
5x+3=x+13
5x+3−x=x+13−x
4x+3=13
<u>Step 2: (Question 1): Subtract 3 from both sides.</u>
4x+3−3=13−3
4x=10
<u>Step 3: (Question 1): Divide both sides by 4.</u>
4x/4 = 10/4
FIRST ANSWER: x = 5/2
Step-by-step explanation (Question 2):
<u>Step 1: (Question 2): Multiply by LCM</u>
15x^2 - 6 = x
<u>Step 2: (Question 2): Solve 15x^2</u>
15x^2 - 6 = x:
x = 2/3
x = -3/5
<u>Step 3: (Question 2): Solve</u>
ANSWER: x=0.666667 or x=−0.6
