2x - 3 = 6x + 13
2x = 6x+13-3
2x = 6x+10
2x-6x=10
-4x=10
x= - 2.5

2x - 3 = 6x + 13
- 13 - 13
Subtracting - 13 from both sides
2x - 16 = 6x
-2x -2x
Subtracting - 2x from both sides
- 16 = 4x
- 16/4 = 4x/4
Dividing both sides by 4
- 4 = x
The answer is x = - 4

2x-3 = 6x+13
-3-13 = 6x-2x
-16 = 4x
-16/4= x
-4 =x

Solve,
2x - 3 = 6x + 13
6x - 2x = -3 - 13
4x = -16
x = -16/4
x = -4

very easy indeed.i can assure you:
2x-3 = 6x + 13 >>>
2x-6x = 13+3 >>>
-4x = 16 >>>
x = 16/-4 >>>
x=-4

2x-3=6x+13 I +3
2x=6x+16 l -2x
0 = 4x+16 l /4
0 = x+4
X = -4
