13 - (x+2) = 8
subtract 13 from both sides
-(x+2) = -5
divide by -1 to get rid of negative
(x+2) = 5
subtract 2 from both sides
x=3

Answer:</h3>
x = 1
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
<em>The only solution is an extraneous solution</em>, which is to say the equation has no solution.
The rational expression reduces to -1 (for x≠1), which makes the equation ...
1 = 1/x
The only solution to this is x=1, which is specifically disallowed.
___
If you subtract the right side, the equation becomes ...
((-x+1)(x) +2(x)(x -1) -(x -1))/(x -1) = 0
(-x^2 +x +2x^2 -2x -x +1)/(x -1) = 0 . . . . eliminate parentheses in the numerator
(x^2 -2x +1)/(x -1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
(x -1)^2/(x -1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor
This is undefined for the only value of x that could possibly be a solution, x=1.
