Question

What is the solution to 5x−2=13 ? Plot the solution on the number line.

Answer 1

x= 3

Explanation:

5x-2=13 - Add 2 to both sides which cancels out the -2 and turns 13 into 15

5x=15 - Divide 5 on both sides which cancels the 5 and leaves x=3

x=3 - Is the final answer or the solution to the problem
