Answer:

x = 12

Explanation:

3/8(2x+16)−2=13

we are asked to look for x

3/8(2x + 16) - 2 = 13

using PEMDAS principle

3/8 × 2x + 16 - 2 = 13

6x/8 + 48/8 - 2 = 13

6x/8 + 6 - 2 = 13

6x /8 + 4 = 13

6x/8 = 13 - 4

6x/8 = 9

multiply both sides by 8

6x = 72

divide both sides by 6

x = 72/6

x = 12
