Answer:

x<-4

Explanation:

To solve this problem, follow these steps:

1. Subtract 5 from both sides.

13<-2x+5

13(-5)<-2x+5(-5)

2. Simplify.

(8)<-2x+5-5

3. Subtract the 5's. And bring down the new equation.

8<-2x+5-5

8<-2x

4. Divide -2x on both sides.

8/-2<-2x/-2

5. Simplify and cancel out the -2's.

-4<x

6. Move the variable to the left and flip the inequality.

x<-4
