How would you solve for 5x=13 for x​

Mathematics

Answer:

  divide by 5: x = 13/5 = 2.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Make use of the properties of the multiplicative inverse and the multiplication identity element. Multiplying both sides of the equation by the multiplicative inverse of the coefficient of x makes the result be 1x on the left side.

  (1/5)(5x) = (1/5)(13)

  1x = 13/5

The multiplicative identity element (1) does not change the value of what it multiplies, so this simplifies to ...

  x = 13/5

_____

Effectively, we divide (both sides) by 5.

Simplify (9x-1)^-1/2 - (x+2)(9x-1)^-1/2
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(9x-1)^-1/2 - (x+2)(9x-1)^-1/2

= (9x-1)^-1/2( 1 - (x + 2))

= (9x-1)^-1/2(-1 - x)

= -(x + 1)(9x-1)^-1/2

= -(x + 1) / (9x-1)^1/2
