the given expression can be solved as follows ~
[tex] \frac{x}{13} - 1 = \frac{5x}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \\ [/tex]
taking LCM both the sides ,
[tex] \frac{x - 13}{13} = \frac{5x + 1}{2} \\ [/tex]
on cross multiplying ,
[tex](x - 13)2 = (5x + 1)13 \\ \\ \implies \: 2x - 26 = 65x + 13[/tex]
let's now gather the like terms at either sides of the equation ~
[tex]65x - 2x = - 26 - 13 \\ \\ \implies \: 63x = - 39 \\ \\ \implies \: x = \frac{\cancel{ - 39}}{\cancel{63}} [/tex]
on simplifying the equation ,
[tex] \implies \frac{-13}{21}\\[/tex]
