Answer: x = 9

Explanation:

1/2 (6x - 10) + 10 = 5x - 13

3x-5 + 10 = 5x -13

-2x + 5 = -13

-2x = -18

x=9

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

X=9

Explanation:

To solve this variable, first, you have to isolate it on one side of the equation. Remember to solve this problem, isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, expand.

1/2(6x-10)=3x-5

3x-5+10=5x-13

Add & subtract numbers from left to right.

-5+10=5

3x+5=5x-13

Next, subtract 5 from both sides.

3x+5-5=5x-13-5

Solve.

13+5=18

3x=5x-18

Subtract 5x from both sides.

3x-5x=5x-18-5x

Solve.

3-5=-2

-2x=-18

Then, divide by -2 from both sides.

-2x/-2=-18/-2

Solve.

Divide the numbers from left to right.

-18/-2=9

X=9


\Large\boxed{\mathsf{\Rightarrow X=9}}}

Therefore, the final answer is x=9.
