What is 2x + 5 = 13 help plz

2x + 5 = 13

2x = 13 - 5

2x = 8 (divide both sides by 2 to get x)

2x/2 = 8/2

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

i got u

2x + 5 = 13

2x = 13 - 5

2x = 8 (divide both sides by 2 to get x)

2x/2 = 8/2

x = 4

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.

secant-secant formula:

(whole secant) x (external part) =           (whole secant) x (external part)

(8+y-2) *8=                                           (y+4+6) *6

(y+6)*8 = (y+10) *6

distribute

8y+48 = 6y +60

subtract 6y from each side

2y +48 = 60

subtract 48 from each side

2y = 12

divide by 2

y = 6

sv =     (y+4+6)

sv   = 6+4+6

sv = 16
