2x + 5 = 13
What is the answer and the steps for this equation

2x + 5 = 13

2x = 13 - 5

2x = 8

*divide both sides by 2*

x = 4

Step 1: Remove parentheses by multiplying factors.

= (x * x) + (1 * x) + (2 * x) + (2 * 1)

Step 2: Combine like terms by adding coefficients.

(x * x) = x2

(1 * x) = 1x

(2* x) = 2x

Step 3: Combine the constants.

(2 * 1) = 2

Step 4: Therefore, Simplifying Algebraic Expression is solved as

= x2 + 3x + 2.
