Solve -8=13(x-3) - ScanMath

Evaluate

- 8 = 13 (x - 3)

Swap the sides of the equation

13 (x - 3) = - 8

Divide both sides

\frac{13 ( x - 3 )}{13} = \frac{- 8}{13}

Divide the numbers

x - 3 = \frac{- 8}{13}

Use \frac{- a}{b} = \frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b} to rewrite the fraction

x - 3 = - \frac{8}{13}

Move the constant to the right side

x = - \frac{8}{13} + 3
