Answer 1

3a-13=47

+13 +13 (You add 13 to both sides)

------------------

3a=60

/3 /3 (Then, divide by 3 to both sides)

--------------

a=20

Answer 2

Hey there!

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you had to do is add by 13 from both sides of an equation.

`3a-13+13=47+13`

Then, simplify or add by the numbers.

`47+13=60`

`3a=60`

Next, you can also divide by 3 from both sides of an equation.

`(3a)/(3)=(60)/(3)`

And finally, simplify and divide by the numbers,

`60/3=20`

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

`\boxed{a=20}`

Hope this helps!
