Let's solve the equation step by step and fill in the blanks.

Starting with the equation:

\[ 10x + 13 = -12 \]

  1. Subtract 13 from both sides:

\[ 10x = -12 - 13 \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ 10x = -25 \]

So, the first blank is:

\[ 10x = -25 \]

  1. Now divide both sides by 10:

\[ x = \frac{-25}{10} \]

Reducing the fraction gives:

\[ x = -2.5 \]

So, the second blank is:

\[ x = -2.5 \]

In summary, the completed solution is:

  • \( 10x + 13 = -12 \)
  • \( 10x = -25 \)
  • \( x = -2.5 \)
x= is wrong
