To solve the equation 7x + 3 = 2x + 13, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
First, we can start by subtracting 2x from both sides of the equation to get:
7x - 2x + 3 = 2x - 2x + 13
This simplifies to:
5x + 3 = 13
Next, we can subtract 3 from both sides of the equation to get:
5x + 3 - 3 = 13 - 3
This simplifies to:
5x = 10
Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for x:
(5x) / 5 = 10 / 5
This simplifies to:
x = 2
Therefore, the solution to the equation 7x + 3 = 2x + 13 is x = 2.
