Lets try to add the variables together and the numbers together.

13x+7x-7-13=180

20x-20=180

Lets put the variables on one side of the equation and the numbers on the other side. Every variable or sign that will change side, will have their sign switched as well from a + into a - and vice versa.

20x=180+20

20x=200

Divide both sides with 20.

20x/20 = 200/20

x=10
