Explanation:

Given that :

  • x/6 - 2 = 13

to find :

  • solve for x

explanation :

⟼ x/6 - 2 = 13

step 1 : Simplify both sides of the equation.

⟼ x/6 - 2 = 13

⟼ 1/6 x + - 2 = 13

⟼ 1/6 x - 2 = 13

step 2 : add 2 both sides

⟼ 1/6 x - 2 + 2 = 13 + 2

⟼ 1/6 x = 15

step 3 : Multiply both sides by 6.

6 × (1/6 x) = (6) × (15)

⟼ 6/6 x = 90

⟼ x = 6/6 × 90

⟼ x = 90.

x = 90.

verification :

lets take x = 90.

⟼ (90) / 6 - 2 = 13

⟼ 90/6 - 2 = 13

⟼ 15 - 2 = 13

13 = 13.

hence verified ☑️
