Question

Each step (1-5) should display the expression used to find the value of x in the correct order of operations. Progress by rewriting the expression in each subsequent step, applying an additional operation one at a time, until all 5 steps are complete. In the responses 6-20, you will put the number you find after evaluating the expression for the value of x.

Answer 1

Sure! Let's define an initial expression for x. I'll use the expression \( 2x + 3 = 13 \) as an example. Here are the steps to solve for x using the correct order of operations:

### Step 1:
**Original expression:**
\( 2x + 3 = 13 \)

### Step 2:
**Subtract 3 from both sides:**
\( 2x + 3 - 3 = 13 - 3 \)
**Simplified expression:**
\( 2x = 10 \)

### Step 3:
**Divide both sides by 2:**
\( \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{10}{2} \)
**Simplified expression:**
\( x = 5 \)

Now, let's evaluate this step-by-step for responses 6-20:
