10x + 3x – 63 = 2
whats the x ?


10x + 3x - 63 = 2

Combine like terms:

10x + 3x = 13x

Therefore:

13x - 63 = 2

Add 63 to each side of the equation.

13x - 63 + 63 = 2 + 63

Combine like terms:

-63 + 63 = 0

2 + 63 = 65

13x = 65

Divide each side by 13

13x/13 = 65/13

x = 5
