Start by using the Distributive Property.
No solution
To begin solving this equation, we can distribute the 13 and -2 to each term in the parentheses on the left-hand side. Then we can continue solving by using the Properties of Equality.
Distribute 1/3 & -2
1/b* a = a/b
Calculate quotient
(- a)b = - ab
- (- a)=a
Add and subtract terms
The statement 18=19 is never true, so the equation has no solution.
