Question

How to simply 5x +13-5+7x

Answer 1

Answer: x = -2/3

Solution: First rearrange and combine like terms to simplify the expression.

5x + 13 - 5 + 7x
5x + 7x + 13 - 5
12x + 8 = 0

Start solving to get x by itself

12x + 8 = 0
-8 -8
12x = -8

Divide both sides by 12 to get x by itself

x = -8/12

-8/12 can be simplified to -2/3 as both 8 and 12 can be divided by 4

x = -2/3

Answer 2

Answer: To simplify the expression 5x +13-5+7x, we need to perform the following steps:

Combine the coefficients of like terms:

-5x + 7x = 2x

5 + 13 = 18

Replace the combined terms:

2x + 18

So, the simplified expression is 2x + 18.
