So we are trying to solve for x so in order to do that we need to get x by itself on one side of the equal sign
first we are going to combine like terms on each side of the equal side
so on the left side we see 4+9 these are booth whole numbers not attached to a variable so we can simplify this by adding these two values together making our equation: x/13 = 12
our x is still not by itself so in order to get it by itself we need to get rid of that 13
we need that x is being divided by 13 so in order to get rid a divided value we have to do the opposite to both sides - multiply by 13 on each side!
x/13 x 13 = x
12 x 13 = 156
so our equation is now:
x = 156
is our x by itself on one side of the equal sign? yes! so our x value is 156
