#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#
