Answer:

5,8-dimethyl-7-(2-methylpentyl)tridecane

The parent chain has 13 carbons hence name as tridecane.

Numbering started from lower end to give smallest numbering to substituents.

Two methyl groups at 5 and 8.

At 7 position the entire group is named accordingly.

More clear picture is attached.

Let me know if you need more explanation in comments.
