Answer:

x = 7

Explanation:

5(x – 3) = x + 13

  • Expand 5(x - 3): 5x - 15

5x - 15 = x + 13

  • Add 15 To Both Sides

5x - 15 + 15 = x + 13 + 15

  • Simplify

5x = x + 28

  • Subtract x From Both Sides

5x - x = x + 28 - x

  • Simplify

4x = 28

  • Divide Both Sides By 4

4x / 4 = 28 / 4

x = 7
