The solution to 2x - 2+5 = 13 os

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2x + - 2 + 5 = 13

Reorder the terms:

-2 + 5 + 2x = 13

Combine like terms: - 2 + 5 = 3

3 + 2x = 13

Solving

3 + 2x = 13

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.

3 + - 3 + 2x = 13 + - 3

Combine like terms: 3 + - 3 = 0

0 + 2x = 13 + - 3

2x = 13 + - 3

Combine like terms: 13 + - 3 = 10

2x = 10

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 5

Simplifying

x = 5

X = 10

2•10 = 20

2+5=7

20-7 = 13
