3x + 5 = 6x – 13
please please help!

Simplifying

3x + -5 = 6x + -13

Reorder the terms:

-5 + 3x = 6x + -13

Reorder the terms:

-5 + 3x = -13 + 6x

Solving

-5 + 3x = -13 + 6x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 3x + -6x = -13 + 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 3x + -6x = -3x

-5 + -3x = -13 + 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0

-5 + -3x = -13 + 0

-5 + -3x = -13

Add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + -3x = -13 + 5

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + -3x = -13 + 5

-3x = -13 + 5

Combine like terms: -13 + 5 = -8

-3x = -8

Divide each side by '-3'.
