Answer 1

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

1. Isolate the term with \( x \): \[ -8x + 13 = -19 \] Subtract 13 from both sides: \[ -8x = -19 - 13 \] \[ -8x = -32 \]

2. Solve for \( x \): Divide both sides by -8: \[ x = \frac{-32}{-8} \] \[ x = 4 \]

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

The correct response is: 4
