\large\leadsto\boxed{\rm\purple{x = \: - 1.25}}

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Given:-

  • - 5x + 10 = - 13x

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Solution:-


\sf - 5x + 10 = - 13x

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀


\sf - 5x + 10 + 13x = 0

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀


\sf 8x + 10 = 0

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀


\sf 8x = - 10

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀


\sf x = (-10)/(8)

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀


\bold\red{\large{x = - 1.25}}

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Therefore, the the solution of the given equation is x = - 1.25

Answer:

-1.25 =x

Explanation:

-5x + 10 = -13x

Add 5x to each side

-5x + 10+5x = -13x+5x

10 = -8x

Divide by -8

10/ -8 = -8x/-8

-5/4 =x

-1.25 =x
