i will mark as brainliest.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mark me as brainliest and please say thanks...

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 2 = 2x - 13

7x - 2x = -13 - 2

5x = - 15

x = -15/5

x = -3

Answer 2

Answer:

=> The value of x is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$7x + 2 = 2x - 13$

To find:- The value of the expression,

For solving this expression, we must apply the transposition method:

As we have,

=> $7x + 2 = 2x - 13$

Subtract both sides by $2$, we get

=> $7x + 2 -2= 2x - 13-2$

Simplifying it further, we get

=> $7x = 2x - 15$

Subtract both sides by $2x$,

=> $7x -2x= 2x - 15-2x$

=> $5x = -15$

Divide both sides by $5$,

=> $x = -3$

Hence, the required solution is -3.
