Answer 2

Answer:

x = 30/7

Step-by-step explanation:

−2(x+13)+9x=4

Multiply out the bracket

-2x - 26 + 9x = 4

Combine the x terms

(-2x + 9x) - 26 = 4

7x - 26 = 4

Rearrange into the form Ax = b, so all the x's are on one side and the integers are on the other.

7x = 4 + 26

7x = 30

Rearrange into the form x = b, so x is on one side and the integer is on the other.

x = 30/7
