Answer:

x=10

Explanation:

Subtracting a negative is adding that number, but positive instead, you can cancel out the negatives..

2x-(-13)=2x+13

2x+13=33

Subtract 13 from both sides.

2x=20

x=10

There's your answer!

2x − (−13) = 33

2x + 13 = 33

2x = 33 - 13

2x = 20

x = 20/2

x = 10

hope it helps...!!!
