Answer:
X = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
We move all terms to the left:
x+8+2x-(2x+13)=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables:
3x-(2x+13)+8=0
We get rid of parentheses:
3x-2x-13+8=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables:
x-5=0
We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right:
x=5
