Question

If 3x - 2 = 13, what is the value of x?
0-5
• 5
0 -3.7
0 3.7
​

Answer 1

Start with

`3x-2=13`

Add 2 to both sides

`3x=15`

Divide both sides by 3

`x=5`

Answer 2

X=5 because you add 2 to both side and get 3x=15, and then you divide both sides by 3 to get x alone, and get 15/3 which equals 5
