       x = -4

texaschic101 · Answer

| 5x + 13 | = -7

5x + 13 = -7        AND    -(5x + 13) = -7
5x = -7 - 13                    -5x - 13 = -7
5x = -20                          -5x = -7 + 13
x = -4                                -5x = 6
                                            x = -6/5

I am not sure about this....you need to get a second opinion
