Question

Solve the equation. Check the solution.
8- 2x - 5- 13x = 6

Answer 1

see below

Explanation:

8- 2x - 5- 13x = 6

Combine like terms

-15x+3=6

Subtract 3 from each side

-15x+3-3=6-3

-15x = 3

Divide each side by -15

x = 3/-15

x = -1/5

Check

8 - 2(-1/5) -5 -13(-1/5) = 6

8 + 2/5 -5 +13/5 = 6

3 + 15/5 = 6

3+3=6

6=6
