Hey there! :)
(13x + 7) = (8x + 27)
We're trying to find x, so we must isolate it.
We can start by subtracting 8x from both sides.
13x - 8x + 7 = 8x - 8x + 27
Then, subtract 7 from both sides.
13x - 8x + 7 - 7 = 8x - 8x + 27 - 7
Simplify!
5x = 20
Divide both sides by 5.
5x ÷ 5 = 20 ÷ 5
Simplify.x = 4
~Hope I helped!~
