#color(green)(s=4)#

Explanation:

Given
#color(white)("XXX")-4s+13=-5s+4s+1#

Simplify the right side:
#color(white)("XXX")-4s+13=-1s+1#

Add #4s# to both sides
#color(white)("XXX")13=3s+1#

Subtract #1# from both sides
#color(white)("XXX")12 =3s#

Divide both sides by #3#
#color(white)("XXX")4=scolor(white)("XX")orcolor(white)("XX")s=4#
