Answer:

x = 4

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

6x + 13 = 37

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Subtract 13 on both sides: 6x = 24
  2. Divide 6 on both sides: x = 4

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

  1. Substitute: 6(4) + 13 = 37
  2. Multiply: 24 + 13 = 37
  3. Add: 37 = 37

Here we see that 37 does indeed equal 37.

∴ x = 4 is a solution of the equation.
