To solve the equation 5x-102=13, you can start by adding 102 to both sides of the equation:

5x - 102 + 102 = 13 + 102

This simplifies to:

5x = 115

To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 5:

5x/5 = 115/5

This simplifies to:

x = 23

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 23.
