10x+%2B+5+-+7x+%3E=+4x+-+13 ----- You are correct up to here

+ 7x   + 7x ------- You added 7x twice on LEFT-SIDE. This is WRONG!

Do you see your error? See below for the correct solution!

3x+%2B+5+%3E=+4x+-+13 ---- COMBINING like-terms

-+x+%2B+5+%3E=+-+13 ------ Subtracting 4x on both sides

-+x+%3E=+-+13+-+5 ------ Subtracting 5 on both sides

-+x+%3E+=+-+18
