x-=5y-1

x+2y=13

How do you get the answer? Every time I got the answer I got it wrong

The first one has a negative. You shouldn't have a negative isolated variable,
-x = 5y -1, Multiply everything by -1,
x = -5y + 1,

For the second one, you isolate the x,
x + 2y = 13, subtract 2y from both sides,
x = 13 - 2y.
