Question

5(2x-3)+4=8x-13 what’s the answer

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf x = -1}`

Explanation:

Given equation:

5(2x - 3) + 4 = 8x - 13

Distribute

10x - 15 + 4 = 8x - 13

10x - 11 = 8x - 13

Subtract 8x from both sides

10x - 8x - 11 = -13

2x - 11 = -13

Add 11 to both sides

2x = -13 + 11

2x = -2

Divide both sides by 2

x = -2/2

x = -1

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`
