Can someone help me and can y’all show me how you got the answer

Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
1/2x + 13 = 9
Step 2: Solve for x
Step 3: Check
Plug in x to verify it's a solution.
1/2(-8) + 13 = 9
-4 + 13 = 9
9 = 9
Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
you use inverse operation
meaning opposite signs
subtract -13 from 13 cross it out
subtract 13 from 9
you get 1/2x=-4
divide 1/2 on both sides
-4 divided by 1/2 =-8
