what is the answer to 4x−13=2x+9

Answer 1

Question: 

What is the answer to 4x - 13 = 2x + 9

Answer:

1.) First subtract 2x from both sides:

4x - 2x - 13 = 2x - 2x + 9

2.) Simplify:

2x - 13 = 9

3.) Then, add 13 to both sides:

2x - 13 + 13 = 9 + 13

4.) Simplify:

2x = 22

5.) Then divide both sides by 2:

2x/2 = 22/2

6.) Simplify:

x = 11
which is the answer.
