Question

5x-3=13-3x how do I find x?

Answer 1

x=2

Explanation:

5x-3=13-3x

Add 3x to both sides

8x-3=13

Add 3 to both sides

8x=16

Divide both sides by 8

x=2

Answer 2

x=25x−3=13−3x

5x+−3=13+−3x

5x−3=−3x+13

Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.

5x−3+3x=−3x+13+3x

8x−3=13

Step 3: Add 3 to both sides.

8x−3+3=13+3

8x=16

Step 4: Divide both sides by 8.

8x8=168

x=2
