Hi! So the sum of twice a number and 13 is 75. To answer this, we first need to make an equation such as 2x+13=75 and then get the x alone on one side of the equation. To do that, subtract 13 from both sides so that the 13 on the left is cancelled out and 13 is subtracted from 75. The equation then becomes 2x=62. Divide 2 from each side, to get the x alone, and you have solved for x! X=31. Hope that helps!
