2x plus 5 equals plus 13?

Answer 1

-2x+5=13

you subtract 5 away from +5 and this cancels out.

you then do the same to the other side by taking 5 away from 13 therefor you get 8.

Now you have -2x=8, take -2x and divide it into 8 and you get 4.

Answer 2

2x + 5 = 13

2x = 8

x = 4

Answer 3

x=(-9)
