Question

1. Rewrite the equation 5(x-3) = x + 13 with 6 substituted for x. Write a question mark over the equal sign to show that you're testing to see if the equation is true. (2 points) 2. Simplify both sides show you work PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!​

Answer 1

15 - 3 ?

Explanation:

We will start by doing the equation on the left:

5(x-3)

Since we will substitute X for 6 the updated equation will be:

5(6-3)

We will now solve it using bodmas so it will be 6-3 which is 3. Then 3 multiplied by 5 is 15.

We will start by doing the equation on the right:

x + 13

Since we will substitute X for 6 the updated equation will be:

6 + 13

So now to simplify it all it will be:

15x = 6 + 13
