Question

3x+2 = 6x-13 what is x

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

Isolate x:

3x + 2 = 6x - 13

Subtract 3x from both sides:

2 = 3x - 13

Add 13 to both sides:

15 = 3x

Divide each side by 3:

5 = x

Answer 2

Explanation:

`3x + 2 = 6x - 13`

`3x - 6x = - 13 - 2`

`- 3x = - 15`

`x = (15)/(3)`

`x = 5`
