To solve the equation \(7x + 13 = 3x - 10 + 2x + 23\), we need to:
Combine like terms on both sides of the equation.
Isolate the variable \(x\) by moving all terms involving \(x\) to one side and constant terms to the other side.
Solve for \(x\).
Step 1: Combine Like Terms
Starting with the equation:
\[
7x + 13 = 3x - 10 + 2x + 23
\]
we can combine the terms on the right side:
\[
3x + 2x - 10 + 23 = 5x + 13
\]
Thus, the equation simplifies to:
\[
7x + 13 = 5x + 13
\]
Step 2: Isolate the Variable
Next, we isolate \(x\) by moving all terms involving \(x\) to one side and constant terms to the other side:
\[
7x - 5x = 13 - 13
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
2x = 0
\]
