Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

5k + (-7) = 13

Step 2: Solve for k

1. Simplify equation:                             5k - 7 = 13
2. Addition Property of Equality:          5k - 7 + 7 = 13 + 7
3. Simplify equation:                             5k = 20
4. Division Property of Equality:           5k/5 = 20/5
5. Simplify equation:                             k = 4

Step 3: Check

Plug in k into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

1. Substitute in k:                    5(4) + (-7) = 13
2. Multiply:                               20 + (-7) = 13
3. Add:                                     13 = 13

Here we see that 13 does indeed equal 13.

∴ k = 4 is the solution to the equation.
