Answer:

x = -6

Explanation:

to solve this you can just add 7 to both sides of the equation.

x -+7 = -13

+7 +7

x = -6

this works because since it puts the x by itself, the other side of the equation is then equal to x and typically in equations with variables you solve for the variables.

hope it helps!
