Question

4x+ 5 = 2x + 13..........

Answer 1

x = 4

Explanation:

4x + 5 = 2x + 13

4x - 2x + 5 = 2x - 2x + 13

2x + 5 = 13

2x + 5 - 5 = 13 - 5

2x = 8

2x ÷ 2 = 8 ÷ 2

x = 4

Answer 2

Question

`4x+ 5 = 2x + 13`

`\mathrm{Subtract\:}5\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}`

`4x+5=2x+13`

`Simplify`

`4x=2x+8`

`\mathrm{Subtract\:}2x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}`

`4x-2x=2x+8-2x`

`Simplify`

`2x=8`

`\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}2`

`(2x)/(2)=(8)/(2)`

`x=4`

Answer

`x=4`
