No 13 is not the solution. Add 4 to both sides to get x by itself.
So x minus 4 plus 4 equals
X
And
10 plus 4 equals 14
So x equals 14 not 13

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

You are trying to solve for x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Add 4 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable, x:

-4 + x = 10

-4 (+4) + x = 10 (+4)

x = 10 +4

x = 14

x = 14, x ≠ 13, ∴ 13 is not a solution.
