−3/4



3/4


-4


4

Answer 1

wrong

Answer 2

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

1. Subtract 13 from both sides of the equation:

\[
-8x + 13 - 13 = -19 - 13
\]
\[
-8x = -32
\]

2. Next, divide both sides by -8:

\[
x = \frac{-32}{-8}
\]
\[
x = 4
\]

Therefore, the solution is \( x = 4 \).

Answer 3

Let's solve the equation step by step again to ensure accuracy:

The original equation is:

\[
-8x + 13 = -19
\]

1. Subtract 13 from both sides:

\[
-8x + 13 - 13 = -19 - 13
\]
\[
-8x = -32
\]

2. Now, divide both sides by -8:

\[
x = \frac{-32}{-8}
\]
\[
x = 4
\]

The solution \( x = 4 \) is correct. If you believe I made a mistake, please clarify what the misunderstanding might be!
