Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the x:
13x + 7 = 8x + 27
subtract 7 from both sides:
13x = 8x + 20
subtract 8x from both sides:
5x = 20
divide both sides by 5:
Subtract 8x from both sides
13x+7−8x=8x+27−8x
5x+7=27
Subtract 7 from both sides
5x+7−7=27−7
5x=20
Divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = 20/5
