Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:


13x + 2 = 4x + 38 \\ 13x - 4x = 38 - 2 \\ 9x = 36 \\ x = (36)/(9) \\ x = 4

Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation

13x+2=4x+38

13x+2-2=4x+38-2

Simplify

13x=4x+36

Subtract 4x from both sides of the equation

13x=4x+36

13x-4x+36-4x

Simplify

9x = 36

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

9x/9 = 36/9

Simplify

x = 4
