x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Distributive property on the left side of the equation:

-x-13-4x=-3 (5-9x) + 2

Use the Distributive property on the right side of the equation:

-x-13-4x=-15+27x+2

Combine alike terms:

-5x-13=27x-13

Add a 13 to both sides:

-5x=27x

Add a 5x to both sides:

32x=0

Divide both sides by 32:

x=0
