13-(2x-5)=x-3 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
13-(2*x-5) = x-3
Expand brackets in the left part
13-2*x+5 = x-3
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
18 - 2*x = x-3
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 2 x = x - 21$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-3\right) x = -21$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -3
x = -21 / (-3)
We get the answer: x = 7
