Answer:

question 1

if you want x to stand alone

you will take the -3 off by crossing it to the other side

NB when a negative number crosses the equal sign it becomes positive

x =10+3= ×=13 is the final answer

Explanation:

question 2

you will divide both sides by 2(because we want x to stand alone)

so final answer is ×=4
