Answer 2

Hey!

Let's start writing this problem.

`-2x+7=13x-5`
Subtract
`7` from both sides.

`-2x+7-7=13x-5-7`

`-2x=13x-12`
Subtract
`13x` from both sides.

`-2x-13x=13x-12-13x`

`-15x=-12`
Divide both sides by
`-15`.

`(-15x)/(-15)=(-12)/(-15)`

`x=(4)/(5)`

Let me know if you have any questions regarding this problem!
