Question

5x-13=x-13

`5x - 13 = x - 13`

Answer 1

Answer: x=0

Explanation:

add 13 both sides of an equation.

5x-13+13=x-13+13

refine.

5x=x

subtract by x both sides of an equation.

5x-x=x-x

simplify.

4x=0

divide by 4 both sides of an equation.

4x/4=0/4

simplify.

4/0=0

x=0

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

Answer 2

x=0

Explanation:

I must assume that your goal is to "solve for x." State your goal explicitly each time you post a problem.

Combining like terms, we get 4x = 0, so that x = 0.
