Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.  

$\frac{3}{8}(2x+16)-2=13$

Open the parentheses.

$\frac{3}{8}\times 2x+\frac{3}{8}\times 16-2=13$

$\frac{3}{4}x+6-2=13$

$\frac{3}{4}x+4=13$

Subtract 4 from both sides.

$\frac{3}{4}x=13-4$

$\frac{3}{4}x=9$

Multiply both the sides by 4/3.

$\frac{3}{4}x\times \frac{4}{3}=9\times \frac{4}{3}$

$}x=3\times 4$

$}x=12$

Hence the value of x is 12.
