Hey there!
To solve for x, you must isolate the x term. To do so, first add 13y to both sides so you can leave 3x isolated on one side:
3x - 13y + 13y= 2 + 13y
3x= 2 +13y
Now, divide both sides by 3 to isolate the x variable and get your final answer:
(3x)/3 = (2 + 13y)/3
x = [tex]\frac{2 + 13y}{3}[/tex]
The equation could also be written as x= [tex]\frac{2}{3}+\frac{13y}{3}[/tex] if you choose to separate the 2 and 13y.
I hope this helps!
