To solve the equation 5x - 15 = 50, you can add 15 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable.

5x - 15 + 15 = 50 + 15

This simplifies to:

5x = 65

Then, divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for x.

5x/5 = 65/5

This simplifies to:

x = 13

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 13.

The correct answer is A. 13.
