Question

Given 3x-7=5x -13 is true, x=?

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

3x-7=5x-13

3x-5x-7=-13

-2x-7=-13

-2x=-13+7

-2x=-6

2x=6

x=6/2

x=3

Answer 2

In this question, you're solving for x.

Solve for x:

3x - 7= 5x - 13

subtract 5x from both sides

-2x - 7 = -13

add 7 to both sides

-2x = -6

divide both sides by -2

x = 3

Answer:

x = 3
