Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

6x + 13 = 37

(given)

6x + 13 = 37

- 13 - 13

(subtraction property of equality; cancel out the constant term of the left side by subtracting 13 from both sides so 6x is by itself)

6x = 24

÷6 ÷6

(division property of equality; divide both sides by 6 to cancel out the coefficient in 6x in order to solve for x)

x = 4

(this is the solution to the equation)

______________________________

Proof:

Substitute this answer back into the equation in order to verify that the solution forms a true equation.

x = 4 → 6(x) + 13 = 37 → 6(4) + 13 = 37 → 24 + 13 = 37 → 37 = 37
