x^{2}-18x-13=15-5x+x^{2}+11
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 3-x.
x^{2}-18x-13=26-5x+x^{2}
Add 15 and 11 to get 26.
x^{2}-18x-13+5x=26+x^{2}
Add 5x to both sides.
x^{2}-13x-13=26+x^{2}
Combine -18x and 5x to get -13x.
x^{2}-13x-13-x^{2}=26
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
-13x-13=26
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
-13x=26+13
Add 13 to both sides.
-13x=39
Add 26 and 13 to get 39.
x=\frac{39}{-13}
Divide both sides by -13.
x=-3
Divide 39 by -13 to get -3.
