Absolutely, let's solve the equation step-by-step:
We are given the equation:
[tex]\[ x + 1 = 13 \][/tex]
To solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex], we need to isolate [tex]\( x \)[/tex] on one side of the equation. Here's how you do it:
1. Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation to eliminate the constant term on the left side.
[tex]\[ x + 1 - 1 = 13 - 1 \][/tex]
2. Simplify both sides:
[tex]\[ x = 12 \][/tex]
Thus, the solution to the equation [tex]\( x + 1 = 13 \)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ x = 12 \][/tex]
