Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

2x - 41 = 13

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 41 on both sides:                                 2x = 54
  2. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 2 on both sides:                               x = 27

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

  1. Substitute in x:                                                                                                2(27) - 41 = 13
  2. Multiply:                                                                                                           54 - 41 = 13
  3. Subtract:                                                                                                         13 = 13

Here we see that 13 does indeed equal 13.

∴ x = 27 is the solution to the equation.
