Question

Solve the following equations for x 13−(2x+2)=2(x+2)+3x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the 2 on the right and the -1 on the left: 13 - 2x - 2 = 2x + 4 + 3x

Combine like terms on each side of the equation: 11 - 2x = 5x + 4

Add 2x to both sides, and subtract 4 from each side: 7 = 7x

Divide both sides by 7: x = 7
