Sure, let's solve the equation and then check the solution step by step.

### **Problem:**
Solve for $$ x $$:
$$
x + 5 = 13
$$
$$
x = \square
$$

### **Solution:**

1. **Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation to isolate $$ x $$:**
   $$
   x + 5 - 5 = 13 - 5
   $$
   $$
   x = 8
   $$

2. **Solution:**
   $$
   x = 8
   $$

### **Checking the Solution:**

To ensure that $$ x = 8 $$ is correct, substitute it back into the original equation:

$$
8 + 5 = 13
$$
$$
13 = 13
$$

Since both sides of the equation are equal, the solution $$ x = 8 $$ is **correct**.
$$ x = 8 $$
