A) -4/7
B) 28/29
C) 2
D) 4

Answer 1

x=2

option c.

Explanation:

• 13x - 2 (8 + 5x) = 12 - 11x
• 13x-16-10x=12-11x
• 13x-10x-16=12-11x
• 3x-16=12-11x
• 3x+11x=12+16
• 14x=28
• x=28/14
• x=2

Hence, option c. is the correct answer

Answer 2

`13 x - 2(8 + 5x) = 12 - 11x \\ 13x - 16 - 10x = 12 - 11x \\ x \: terms \: togather \\ 13x + 11x - 10x = 12 + 16 \\ 14x = 28 \\ x = (28)/(14) = 2 \\ thank \: you`
