Add the five to each side.
then square it to get rid of the square root
2x+13=(5+x)^2
2x+13=x^2+10x+25
2x=x^2+10x+12
x^2+8x+12=0
(x+6)(x+2)
x+6=0
x+2=0
answers are -2 and -6, however, when pluging -6 in it doesnt work, so it is only -2.
9x^3 - 8x^2 is the answer. to solve this you must distribute the sign across each parenthetical and then add the like terms (all cubed x variables added to cubed variables and all squared x variables added to squared variable)

The answer to this question is 2.
