Solve 2x + 13 = 39

The solution of 2x + 13 = 39 is x = 13.

The lines y = 2x + 13 and y = 39 meet at x = 1381012141618253035404550x = 13y = 2x + 13y = 39
The lines y = 2x + 13 and y = 39 meet at x = 13. The solution of the equation is the x-coordinate of the point where the two sides are equal.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    The goal is to get x alone. Undo the operations in the opposite order: first the addition, then the multiplication.

    2x+13=392x + 13 = 39
  2. 2

    Subtract 13 from both sides:

    2x+13−13=39−13 ⇒ 2x=262x + 13 - 13 = 39 - 13 \ \Rightarrow\ 2x = 26
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 2:

    2x2=262 ⇒ x=13\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{26}{2} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 13
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 13 back into the equation.
