Question

13x = 3(X-20) How to solve this algebra equation?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

13x = 3(x - 20)              {Use distributive method:a(b+c)=(a*b) + (a*c)

13x = 3*x - 3*20

13x = 3x - 60            {Subtract '3x' from both sides}

13x -3x = -60      

    10x = -60      {Divide both sides by 10}

        x= -60/10

       x = -6

Answer 2

-6x is the correct answer
