YOUR ANSWER


  • Here's what you tried:
  • This is an equation! Solutions: x=18.
  • Graphical form: Equation x%2F3%2B7=13 was fully solved.
  • Text form: x/3+7=13 simplifies to 0=0
  • Cartoon (animation) form: simplify_cartoon%28+x%2F3%2B7=13+%29
    For tutors: simplify_cartoon( x/3+7=13 )
  • If you have a website, here's a link to this solution.

DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at x%2F3%2B7=highlight_red%28+13+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+-13+%29
It becomes x%2F3%2B7-highlight_green%28+13+%29=0.
Look at x%2F3%2Bhighlight_red%28+7+%29-highlight_red%28+13+%29=0.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes x%2F3%2Bhighlight_green%28+-6+%29=0.
Look at x%2F3%2Bhighlight_red%28+-6+%29=0.
Removed extra sign in front of -6
It becomes x%2F3-highlight_green%28+6+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+x%2F3-6+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+x%2F3-6=0+%29 equivalent to 0.333333333333333*x-6 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
This is an equation! Solutions: x=18.
