Yes.
5x + 5 = 7x + 13
5x - 7x = 13 - 5
-2x = 8
-x = 8/2 = 4
Therefore x = -4

5x + 5 = 7x + 13
5x - 7x = -5 + 13
-12x = 8
-x = 8/12
x = (-2/3)

[5x + 5 -5 = 7x + 13 -5] =
5x = 7x + 8.
[5x - 7x = 8] =
-2x = 8.
[-2x/-2 = 8/(-2)] =
x = -4

I can solve it too.
Oh, you want an answer?
5 = 2x + 13
x = (5-13)/2
--> x = -4

5x+5=7x+13
5x+5-5=7x+13-5
5x-7x=7x-7x+8
-2x=8
-2x/-2=8/-2
x=-4
