Question

Solve the equation
$13 = 2(x - 5) - 2$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 25/2 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

13= 2(x-5) -2

13+2= 2(x-5)

15 = 2x-10

15+10 =2x

25 = 2x

x= 25/2

Answer 2

$\huge\mathrm\pink{Answer}$

$13 = 2(x - 5) - 2 \\ 13 = 2x - 10 - 2 \\ 13 = 2x - 12 \\ 2x = 13 + 12 \\ 2x = 25 \\ x = \frac{25}{2} \\ x = 12.5$
