Answer:
x = 5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
5x-13 = 2x-8
Transport 2x to LHS and -13 to RHS
=> 5x-2x = -8+13
=> 3x = 5
=> x = 5/3
Answer:
Simplifying
5x -13 = 2x + 8
Reorder the terms:
-13 + 5x = 2x + 8
Reorder the terms:
-13 + 5x = 8 + 2x
Solving
-13 + 5x = 8 + 2x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.
-13 + 5x + -2x = 8 + 2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x
-13 + 3x = 8 + 2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
-13 + 3x = 8 + 0
-13 + 3x = 8
Add '13' to each side of the equation.
-13 + 13 + 3x = 8 + 13
Combine like terms: -13 + 13 = 0
0 + 3x = 8 + 13
3x = 8 + 13
Combine like terms: 8 + 13 = 21
3x = 21
Divide each side by '3'.
x = 7
Simplifying
x = 7
