What is the value of x in the equation 13 x minus 2 (8 + 5 x) = 12 minus 11 x?

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Convert words into an expression

What is the value of x in the equation 13 x minus 2 (8 + 5 x) = 12 minus 11 x?

13x - 2(8 + 5x) = 12 - 11x

Step 2:  Distribute

13x - 2(8 + 5x) = 12 - 11x

13x - 16 - 10x = 12 - 11x

Step 3:  Solve for x

13x - 16 - 10x + 11x + 16 = 12 - 11x + 11x + 16

14x / 14 = 28 / 14

x = 2

 x = 2

answer: -0.5 would be the most likley outcome

step-by-step explanation:

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
