Hi! Your answer is x = 3.
Please see an explanation for a clear and better understanding to your problem.

Step-by-step explanation:
Our goal is to find the value of x. That means what we have to do is to isolate x-term first.
![\huge{x+10=13}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Chuge%7Bx%2B10%3D13%7D)
To isolate a variable means that to make a variable as a subject or also known as leaving a variable alone. To isolate the x-term for this problem, simply subtract both sides by 10 so we can get rid of 10 from the left side.
![\huge{x+10-10=13-10}\\\huge{x+0=3}\\\huge{x=3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Chuge%7Bx%2B10-10%3D13-10%7D%5C%5C%5Chuge%7Bx%2B0%3D3%7D%5C%5C%5Chuge%7Bx%3D3%7D)
If you are not sure that the answer is correct or not. We can substitute the value of x in the equation.
![\huge{x+10=13}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Chuge%7Bx%2B10%3D13%7D)
Substitute x = 3 in the equation.
![\huge{3+10=13}\\\huge{13=13}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Chuge%7B3%2B10%3D13%7D%5C%5C%5Chuge%7B13%3D13%7D)
The equation is true for x = 3. Hence, we can conclude that x = 3 is the solution to the equation.
