Answer 1

To solve the equation −8x + 13 = −19, you want to isolate the variable x.

First, subtract 13 from both sides of the equation to get:
−8x = −32

To get x by itself, divide both sides of the equation by −8:
x = (-32)/(-8)

This simplifies to:
x = 4

So the solution to the equation −8x + 13 = −19 is x = 4.
