x= ???????

Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]13-6x=2\left(8+3x\right)[/tex]

[tex]13-6x=16+6x[/tex]

[tex]13-6x-13=16+6x-13[/tex]

[tex]-6x=6x+3[/tex]

[tex]-6x-6x=6x+3-6x[/tex]

[tex]-12x=3[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-12x}{-12}=\frac{3}{-12}[/tex]

[tex]x=-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

or

[tex]x=-0.25[/tex]

Answer:

-1/4 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we distribute the 2 into the parenthesis

13 - 6x = 2(8 + 3x)

13 - 6x = 16 + 6x

then, we add 6x to both sides to move all of the x terms onto one side

13 - 6x = 16 + 6x

13 = 16 + 12x

next, we subtract 16 on both sides

13 = 16 + 12x

-3 = 12x

next, we divide both sides by 12 to isolate x

-3 = 12x

-3/12 = x

finally, we simplify the fraction

-3/12 = x

-1/4 = x
