Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-8x + 13 = -19\), follow these steps:

1. Subtract 13 from both sides of the equation: \[ -8x + 13 - 13 = -19 - 13 \] Simplifying gives: \[ -8x = -32 \]

2. Next, divide both sides by -8: \[ x = \frac{-32}{-8} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ x = 4 \]

So the solution to the equation is \(x = 4\).
