Given the equation:
2x - 13 = 3x + 18
Solve the equation.
Solution:
In order to solve the given equation, we simply needed to transpose 2x and 18 to the opposite sides. Hence, it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
2x - 13 = 3x + 18
-13 - 18 = 3x - 2x
x = - 31
Final answer:
x = -31
