Answer:

Simplifying

6x + -3 = 2x + 13

Reorder the terms:

-3 + 6x = 2x + 13

Reorder the terms:

-3 + 6x = 13 + 2x

Solving

-3 + 6x = 13 + 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 6x + -2x = 13 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 6x + -2x = 4x

-3 + 4x = 13 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-3 + 4x = 13 + 0

-3 + 4x = 13

Add '3' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 3 + 4x = 13 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0

0 + 4x = 13 + 3

4x = 13 + 3

Combine like terms: 13 + 3 = 16

4x = 16

Divide each side by '4'.

x = 4

Simplifying

x = 4 Step-by-step explanation: \\\\\\\ hope this helped
