x=13/3

Explanation:

First, we subtract 6 from both sides.
2x+6color(blue)-color(blue)6=5x-7color(blue)-color(blue)6

Simplify:
2x=5x-13

Subtract 5x from both sides:
2xcolor(blue)-color(blue)5color(blue)x=5x-13color(blue)-color(blue)5color(blue)x

Simplify:
-3x=-13

Divide both sides by -3:
x=13/3
