Answer 1

Answer: Hope it helps, have a nice day :)

x=5

Explanation:

So you can only have x on one side, so first you move an x to the other side of the equal sign.

so, 4x-2=x+13, you can move either x, but I'm moving x instead of 4x

-x -x

Your new equation is 3x-2=13, because the x's cancel out

Then you add 2 on both sides 3x-2=13

+2 +2

___________

3x=15

then you divide by 3 on both sides

3x divided by three leaves x by itself, and 15 divided by three is 5.

3x=15

3 3

x=5

Answer 2

x=5

Explanation:

isolate the x on one side of the equal sign so move the 2 over by adding 2

4x=x+15 ( add 2 to both sides )

then move the x over

3x=15 ( subtract x from both sides )

then divide by 3

x=5
