-2x+2=x-13 please help as fast as you can

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operation, and equals:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

Isolate the variable, x. Subtract x and 2 from both sides:

-2x (-x) + 2 (-2) = x (-x) - 13 (-2)

-2x - x = -13 - 2

Simplify. Combine like terms:

-2x - x = -13 - 2

-3x = -15

Divide -3 from both sides:

(-3x)/-3 = (-15)/-3

x = -15/-3

x = 5

x = 5 is your answer.
