Answer:

x=6

Explanation:

(3/2)x - -4 =13

(3x/2)+4=13

Make 3x/2 the subject

3x/2=13-4

3x/2=9

Cross multiply

3x=9(2)

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3= 9(2)/3

x=3(2)

x=6

To check if correct, substitute x for 6 in the equation. And both sides of the equation must be equal

(3/2)x - -4 =13

(3/2)6 - -4 =13

18/2+4=13

9+4=13

13=13
