-3x+13=16
Move +13 to the other side. Sign changes from +13 to -13.
-3x+13-13=16-13
-3x=16-13
-3x=3
Divide by -3 for both sides.
-3/-3x=3/-3
Cross out -3 and -3, divide by -3, then becomes 1*1*x=x
x=-1
Answer: x=-1
Answer:
It can be 23 or 823
Step-by-step explanation:
Depends because if you divide 138 and 6 you'll get 23.
If you multiply 138 times 6 you'll get 823
Ok so the first step is to -1 from both sides. On the right side it cancels out and on the left side it = -16. So now your left with -16= 8x. Your still not done yet though. So now what you want to do is divide both sides by 8. On the right side it cancels out and you bring down x and on the left side it equals -2. So x=-2. So to verify it you have to plu -2 back into the equation. So -15= 8 Times -2 +1 so 8 Times -2 = -16 plus one is -15. Hoped that helped!!
