Question

Is X-13=x+1 true or false

Answer 1

Answer: FALSE.

Explanation:

Given the following equation provided in the exercise:

`x-13=x+1`

You need to solve for the variable "x".

In order to solve for "x" you can folllow the steps shown below:

1. You must apply the Addition property of equality and add 13 to both sides of the equation. Then:

`x-13+(13)=x+1+(13)\\\\x=x+14`

2. Finally you need to apply the Subtraction property of equality and subtract "x" from both sides of the equation. So you get:

`x-(x)=x+14-(x)\\\\0=14\ (FALSE)`

Therefore, as you can observe, the given equation has no solutions.
