Question

- 2x + 5 = 13
what the x

Answer 1

The answer is x = - 4

Explanation:

- 2x + 5 = 13

1.Subtract 5 from both sides

- 2x + 5 - 5 = 13 - 5

- 2x = 8

2. Divide both sides by - 2

- 2x/- 2 = 8/- 2

x = - 4

Answer 2

The answer is x=-4 because you subject 5 on both sides and than divide -2 both sides and it leaves you with x=-4.
