Answer:

The first step to solve 2x-5=13 is "add by 5 from both sides".

[tex]\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{x=9}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, isolate it on one side of the equation.

Isolate the term of x.

2x-5=13

First, add by 5 from both sides.

⇒ 2x-5+5=13+5

Solve.

Add the numbers from left to right.

⇒ 13+5=18

→ 2x=18

Divide by 2 from both sides.

⇒ 2x/2=18/2

Solve.

Divide the numbers from left to right.

⇒ 18/2=9

[tex]\Longrightarrow:\boxed{\sf{x=9}}[/tex]

The solution is x=9.

  • Therefore, the correct answer is "add by 5 from both sides".

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Determine the first step

Given the equation 2x - 5 = 13, we know that we have to isolate the x's by themselves so the best way to do this is to add 5 to both sides.  This would remove everything from the left side except 2x and on the right side we would just add 5 to 13 which would give us 18.

Hope this helps!
