Solution: X=6

Detailed explanation:

In this problem we're asked to find "x" or the unknown.

The first step is to subtract 11x from both sides.


---\mapsto\boldsymbol{-11x+79=13}

Next, subtract 79 from both sides.


---\mapsto\boldsymbol{-11x=-66}

To finish this off, divide both sides by -11.


---\mapsto\boldsymbol{x=6}

Voila! There's our answer!

Cheers!! ^-^

\large\green\longrightarrow \tt \large \:79 \: = \: 11x \: + \: 13


\large\green\longrightarrow \tt \large \:79 \: - \: 13 \: = \: 11x


\large\green\longrightarrow \tt \large \:66 \: = \: 11x


\large\green\longrightarrow \tt \large \: \frac{ \cancel{66} \: \: ^( \pink6) }{ \cancel{11}} \: = \: x \\


\large\green\longrightarrow \tt \large \:6 \: = \: x

Hence , the value of x is 6
