Answer 2

Answer: C) add 5 to both sides

The given equation is

(4/7)x - 5 = -13

To solve this, we follow PEMDAS in reverse undoing each operation. Normally parenthesis is the first thing we look for, but instead we start with subtraction.

So we'll undo subtraction which means we add 5 to both sides
