x + 9
------ = 2
13
Confused...?
(x + 9) / 13 = 2
Multiply both sides by 13
x + 9 = 26
x = 17
Thank you Ms. Sue!
You are welcome Savannah.
I can help explain this equation to you step by step!
The equation you have is:
(x + 9)/13 = 2
To solve this equation, you need to isolate the variable x.
The first step is to multiply both sides of the equation by 13 to eliminate the fraction:
13 * (x + 9)/13 = 2 * 13
This simplifies to:
x + 9 = 26
Next, we want to isolate the variable x by subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation:
x + 9 - 9 = 26 - 9
This simplifies to:
x = 17
So the solution to the equation is x = 17.
I hope this explanation helps you!
