Answer:

The answer is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

First you subtract 3 from both sides and get 10. Then you divide by 2 and you get 5.

Answer:

x = 8 (but I could be wrong)

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 3 to both sides of the equation

2x=13+3

add 13 and 3

2x=16

Then divide each of the terms by 2 and simplify

Divide 2x = 16 by 2

2x/2 = 16/2

Then cancel the common factor of 2

so 2x/2 (but crossed out) = 16/2

then divide x by 1 x=16/2

then divide 16 by 2

And x=8

I NEED HELP FAST what is y+1=5/6(x-2) in standard form?

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{5x-6y=16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of an equation of a line:

$Ax+By=C$

We have the equation in the point-slope form. Convert:

$y+1=\dfrac{5}{6}(x-2)\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 6}\\\\6y+6=6\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{5}{6\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}(x-2)\\\\6y+6=5(x-2)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\6y+6=(5)(x)+(5)(-2)\\\\6y+6=5x-10\qquad\text{subtract 6 from both sides}\\\\6y+6-6=5x-10-6\\\\6y=5x-16\qquad\text{subtract}\ 5x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-5x+6y=5x-5x-16\\\\-5x+6y=-16\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\\boxed{5x-6y=16}$
