<PRE><B>Question 118570</B>

{{{5x-3=13-3}}} Start with the given equation




{{{5x-3=10}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{5x=10+3}}}Add 3 to both sides



{{{5x=13}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(13)/(5)}}} Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x




--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=13/5}}}  (which is approximately {{{x=2.6}}} in decimal form)
