Answer:

x=15/16

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

6−34x+13=12x+5

6+−34x+13=12x+5

Multiply all terms by x and cancel:

6x+−34+1x3=12+5x

193x+−34=5x+12(Simplify both sides of the equation)

193x+−34−5x=5x+12−5x(Subtract 5x from both sides)

43x+−34=12

43x+−34+34=12+34(Add 3/4 to both sides)

43x=54

(34)*(43x)=(34)*(54)(Multiply both sides by 3/4)

x=1516

Check answers. (Plug them in to make sure they work.)

x=1516(Works in original equation)
