x ÷ 2 - 13 = 1
Write the division as a fraction
[tex] \frac{1}{2}x - 13 = 1 [/tex]
Multiple both sides of the equation by 2
[tex]2 \times \frac{1}{2}x \times - 2 \times 13 = 12[/tex]
Reduce the number with greatest common divisor 2
[tex]x - 2 \times 3 = 2[/tex]
Multiply the numbers
[tex] - 2 \times 13[/tex]
Then u will have
[tex]x - 26 = 2[/tex]
Move constant to the right by adding its opposite sides
[tex]x - 26 + 26 = 2 + 26[/tex]
Eliminate the opposites
[tex] - 26 + 26[/tex]
Then you have
[tex]x = 2 + 26[/tex]
Add the numbers
[tex] x = 28[/tex]
