Question

Solve for x. 2x+3=13

Answer 1

x = 8 (but I could be wrong)

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 3 to both sides of the equation

2x=13+3

add 13 and 3

2x=16

Then divide each of the terms by 2 and simplify

Divide 2x = 16 by 2

2x/2 = 16/2

Then cancel the common factor of 2

so 2x/2 (but crossed out) = 16/2

then divide x by 1 x=16/2

then divide 16 by 2

And x=8

Answer 2

The answer is 5

Explanation:

First you subtract 3 from both sides and get 10. Then you divide by 2 and you get 5.
