Answer:


x = 4

Explanation:


13x + 7 = 8x + 27

Take 8x to the left side and 7 to the right.


13x - 8x = 27 - 7

Combine like terms.


5x = 20

Divide both sides by 5.


x = 4

Hey there! :)

(13x + 7) = (8x + 27)

We're trying to find x, so we must isolate it.

We can start by subtracting 8x from both sides.

13x - 8x + 7 = 8x - 8x + 27

Then, subtract 7 from both sides.

13x - 8x + 7 - 7 = 8x - 8x + 27 - 7

Simplify!

5x = 20

Divide both sides by 5.

5x ÷ 5 = 20 ÷ 5

Simplify.x = 4

~Hope I helped!~
