Hello there! :)

Answer:

x=7

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

First, you expand.

$5(x-3)=5x-15$

$5x-15=x+13$

Then, you add by 15 from both sides of an equation.

$5x-15+15=x+13+15$

Simplify.

$5x=x+28$

You subtract by x from both sides of an equation.

$5x-x=x+28-x$

Simplify by equation.

$4x=28$

Then, you divide by 4 from both sides of an equation.

$\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{28}{4}$

Finally, divide by the numbers from left to right.

$28/4=7$

Final answer is x=7

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a nice day! :)
