2x+5(3x-1)=x-13

2 x + 5 (3 x - 1) = x - 13

x = - \frac{1}{2}

Decimal Notation

x = - 0.5

Solution steps

2 x + 5 (3 x - 1) = x - 13

Expand

5 (3 x - 1) : 15 x - 5

2 x + 15 x - 5 = x - 13

Add similar elements:

2 x + 15 x = 17 x

17 x - 5 = x - 13

Move

5

to the right side

17 x = x - 8

Move

x

to the left side

16 x = - 8

Divide both sides by

16

x = - \frac{1}{2}

3 = 18 - \frac{5}{4} x

- 4 (x + 2) - 24 = - 10 - 6

2^{2} = n

x, \frac{3 ^{y - 1}}{5} = 2 x

\frac{m}{- 8} = - 2.5
