Answer 2

The solution of the equation −8x+13=−19 is:

-8x+13 = -19

To isolate x, we will subtract 13 from both sides:

-8x = -19 - 13
-8x = -32

Next, we will divide both sides by -8:

x = -32 / -8
x = 4

Therefore, the solution is x = 4.

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion in the previous response. Let's solve the equation −8x+13=−19 correctly:

To isolate x, we will subtract 13 from both sides:

−8x + 13 - 13 = -19 - 13
−8x = -32

Next, we will divide both sides by -8:

x = -32 / -8
x = 4

Therefore, the solution is x = 4.

So, the correct answer is 4.
