Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:

Simplifying

2x + -2 + 5 = 13

Reorder the terms:

-2 + 5 + 2x = 13

Combine like terms: -2 + 5 = 3

3 + 2x = 13

Solving

3 + 2x = 13

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.

3 + -3 + 2x = 13 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0

0 + 2x = 13 + -3

2x = 13 + -3

Combine like terms: 13 + -3 = 10

2x = 10

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 5

Simplifying

x = 5
