Answer:31

Explanation:Simplifying

5x + -13 = 4x + 18

Reorder the terms:

-13 + 5x = 4x + 18

Reorder the terms:

-13 + 5x = 18 + 4x

Solving

-13 + 5x = 18 + 4x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4x' to each side of the equation.

-13 + 5x + -4x = 18 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: 5x + -4x = 1x

-13 + 1x = 18 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0

-13 + 1x = 18 + 0

-13 + 1x = 18

Add '13' to each side of the equation.

-13 + 13 + 1x = 18 + 13

Combine like terms: -13 + 13 = 0

0 + 1x = 18 + 13

1x = 18 + 13

Combine like terms: 18 + 13 = 31

1x = 31

Divide each side by '1'.

x = 31

Simplifyingx=31
