Answer:

1. x=2

2. x= 0.33

Explanation:

1.So to start off you have a coefficient for 2 so you have to find what 2 to the power of 2 is =4 so then you have your new problem 4x+5=13 next you need to get 4x by itself so

-5 -5

then you have 4x=8. you divide by 4 on both sides

4. 4

so then you get x=2

2.So same here find what 3 to the power of 2 is =9

New equation 4x-1=9x+4x-4. Then combine like terms on the right you cant do it on the left because that is a separate part and those dont merge like terms so

9x+4x = 13x

new equation. 4x-1=13x-4

next subtract 4x on both sides

13x-4x=9x

new equation. -1=9x-4

next add 4 to both sides

-1+4= 3

new equation. 3=9x

so then divide 9 on both sides

3÷9= 0.33

x= 0.33

Hope this made sense and helps
