Step 1
To solve 13x15x+8=4x+224
+82x=4x22
Add 2x+22 on both sides,
+82x+2x+22=4x22+2x+22
Add the like terms,
30+0x=6x+0
30=6x
So, it is 6x=30
Divide by 6 on both sides,
6x6=306
x=306
Divide by 6 on both numerator and denominator,
x=306÷66
x=5
The value of x is 5.

Step 1
Simplify the expression NSNK 12x15x+8=4x+224
Simplify the arithmetic:
2x+8=4x+224
Simplify the arithmetic:
2x+8=4x22
Step 2
Group all x terms on the left side of the equation
2x+8=4x22
Subtract 4x from both sides: NSNK 2x+84x=4x224x
Group like terms:
2x4x+8=4x224x
Simplify the arithmetic:
6x+8=4x224x
Group like terms:
6x+8=4x4x22
Simplify the arithmetic:
6x+8=22
Step 3
Group all constants on the right side of the equation
6x+8=22
Subtract 8 from both sides:
6x+88=228
Simplify the arithmetic:
6x=228
Simplify the arithmetic:
6x=30
Step 4
Isolate the x
6x=30
Divide both sides by -6:
6x6=306
Cancel out the negatives:
6x6=306
Simplify the fraction:
x=306
Cancel out the negatives:
x=306
Find the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator:
x=5×61×6
Factor out and cancel the greatest common factor:
x=5

Step 1
Combine 13x and -15x to get -2x
=28=4x+2-24
Subtract 24 from 2 to get -22
-2x+8=4x-22
Subtract 4x from both sides
-2x+8=4x=-22
Combine -2x and -4x to get -6x
-6x+8=-22
Subtract 8 from both sides
-6x=-22-8
Subtract 8 from -22 to get -30
-6x=-30
Divide both sides by -6
x=306
Divide -30 by -6 to get 5
x=5
