Answer 2

(13x + 7) = (8x + 27)

We're trying to find x, so we must separate it.

We can start by subtracting 8x from both sides.

13x - 8x + 7 = 8x - 8x + 27

Then, subtract 7 from both sides.

13x - 8x + 7 - 7 = 8x - 8x + 27 - 7

Simplify.

5x = 20

Divide both sides by 5.

5x ÷ 5 = 20 ÷ 5

Simplify.

x = 4
