Question

11(2x - 6) = 13(x - 13)

Answer 1

-11.4

Explanation:

First, you do distributive operation which would afterwards give you the equation 22x-66=13x-169. Switch the -66 to the other side by making it a positive 66. (So it cancels out and don't forgot to add 66 to -169.) Now, your equation is 22x=13x-103. Subtract 13 from both sides. Now your equation is 9x=-103. To get X alone you have to divide 9 from both sides to get your answer which is -11.44444444444444. If you simply it, it is -11.4.

Answer 2

Hi there!

Your answer is:

x= - 11 & 4/9 or approximately - 11.44

Explanation:

Distribute the 11 and 13 to the parentheses.

22x -66 = 13x - 169

Get whole numbers on the right side

22x-66 = 13x -169

+66

22x = 13x -169+66

22x= 13x -103

Get X's on the left side

22x = 13x -103

-13x

9x= -103

Divide both sides by 9

x= - 11 & 4/9 or approximately - 11.44
