More Steps

Evaluate
5−13x4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−13x4=0−5
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−13x4=−5
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
13x4=5
Divide both sides
1313x4=135
Divide the numbers
x4=135
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±4135
