Find the solution of 3x-2=13.
3x-2=13
Transposing -2 to RHS, we have
Or                             3x=13+2
                                3x=15
Or                              x=              (Dividing both sides by 3)
Or                              x=5
Solve: Â Â Â 5x-9=8.
5x-9=8
Transposing 9 to RHS, we have
                                        5x=8+9=17
 ∴                                          x=                    (Dividing both sides by 5)
