Answer: x = 20

Explanation:

1) Move all terms to the left:

x-13-(x/2-3)=0

2) Get rid of parentheses

x-x/2+3-13=0

3) Multiply all the terms by the denominator

x*2-x+3*2-13*2=0

4) Add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1x+x*2-20=0

5) Multiply elements

-1x+2x-20=0

6) Add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x-20=0

7) Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

x=20

Hope This Helps (From My Notes)
