Q. Solve for x \mathrm{x} in simplest form.\newline13=12(5x+8) 13=\frac{1}{2}(5 x+8) \newlineAnswer:
  1. Write Equation: Write down the equation given by the problem.\newline13=12(5x+8)13 = \frac{1}{2}(5x + 8)
  2. Eliminate Fraction: To get rid of the fraction, multiply both sides of the equation by 22. \newline2×13=2×(12)(5x+8)2 \times 13 = 2 \times \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)(5x + 8)\newline26=5x+826 = 5x + 8
  3. Isolate x Term: Subtract 88 from both sides to isolate the term with xx.\newline268=5x+8826 - 8 = 5x + 8 - 8\newline18=5x18 = 5x
  4. Solve for x: Divide both sides by 55 to solve for x.\newline185=5x5\frac{18}{5} = \frac{5x}{5}\newlinex=185x = \frac{18}{5}
