Answer: x= 5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 13 from both sides of the equation
2x+13=-7x+28
2x+13-13=7x+28-13
simplify
subtract the numbers
2x=-7x+15
add 7x to both sides of the equation
2x+7x=-7x+15+7x
simplify
9x=15
divide
9x/9 = 15/9
simplify
Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator
divide the numbers
x=5/3
