Question

THE SUM OF X AND FIVE SUBTRACT FROM EIGHT TIMES X IS THE SAME AS THIRTEEN PLUS THE PRODUCT OF TWO AND THE DIFFERENCE OF X AND TWO

Translate the sentence to an equation and then solve

Answer 1

The equation is ----> 8x-(x+5)= 13+2(x-2)

Solving the equation:

8x-x-5=13+2x-4

7x=2x+14

5x=14

x= 14/5 <---- Answer

comment if any doubt

Answer 2

8x - (x + 5) = 13 + 2(x - 2)

8x - x - 5 = 13 + 2x - 4

7x - 5 = 2x + 9

5x - 5 = 9

5x = 14

`(5)/(5)` =
`(14)/(5)`x

`(14)/(5)` = x

Answer:
`(14)/(5)`
