Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
2x + 13 = 0
Reorder the terms:
13 + 2x = 0
Solving
13 + 2x = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-13' to each side of the equation.
13 + -13 + 2x = 0 + -13
Combine like terms: 13 + -13 = 0
0 + 2x = 0 + -13
2x = 0 + -13
Combine like terms: 0 + -13 = -13
2x = -13
Divide each side by '2'.
x = -6.5
Simplifying
x = -6.5
