To solve the inequality \(-2x + 5 < 13\), follow these steps:
1. Subtract 5 from both sides:
\[
-2x < 13 - 5
\]
\[
-2x < 8
\]
2. Divide both sides by -2. Remember to reverse the inequality sign when dividing by a negative number:
\[
x > \frac{8}{-2}
\]
\[
x > -4
\]
The solution to the inequality is:
\[
x > -4
\]
