Question

solve the following equations scams reported​

Answer 1

Answer:

$a.5x - 13 = 2x + 8$

$5x - 2x = 8 + 13$

$3x = 21$

$x = 7$

b.

$17x + 12 = 13x + 24$

$17x - 13x = 24 - 12$

$4x = 12$

$x = 3$

c.

Answer 2

$5x - 13 = 2x + 8 \\ 5x - 2x = 8 + 13 \\ 3x = 21 \\ x = \frac{21}{3} \\ x = 7$

$17x + 12 = 13x + 24 \\ 17x - 13x = 24 - 12 \\ 4x = 12 \\ x = \frac{12}{4} \\ x = 3$

$9(x - 1) = 4(x - 3) \\ 9x - 9 = 4x - 12 \\ 9x - 4x = - 12 + 9 \\ 5x = - 3 \\ x = \frac{ - 5}{3}$
