Question

3(x+2)-5=13 solve the equation

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+2)-5=13

3x+6-5=13

3x+1=13

3x=13-1

3x=12

x=4

Hope this helps you !!

Answer 2

ANSWER:

• Value of x is 4.

GIVEN:

• 3(x+2)-5 = 13

TO FIND:

• Value of x.

SOLUTION:

=> 3(x+2)-5 = 13

=> 3x+6-5 = 13

=> 3x+1 = 13

Subtracting 1 from the both sides.

=> 3x+1-1 = 13-1

=> 3x = 12

Dividing both sides by 3.

=> 3x/3 = 12/3

=> x = 4

VERIFICATION:

L.H.S:

= 3(x+2)-5

Putting x = 4

= 3(4+2)-5

= 3(6)-5

= 18-5

= 13

LHS = RHS

Verified.

NOTE:

• This method of finding the value of x is by linear equation in one variable.
• Then we can simply the expression and we get the value of x.
• In this way we can find the value of x
