263 = 4x + 20 - 13x
263 = 4x - 13x + 20
263 = -9x + 20
263 + 20 = -9x
283 = -9x
283 ➗ -9 = x
-31.4444 = x

Answer:

x = -27

Explanation:

4(x+5) - 13x = 263

Multiply

4x + 20 - 13x = 263

Subtract 20 from both sides

4x - 13x = 243

-9x = 243

Divide by 9 on both sides

x = -27

Hope this helps :)
