Answer 1

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

1. Subtract 13 from both sides: \[ -8x = -19 - 13 \] \[ -8x = -32 \]

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

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

The correct response from the options provided is 4.
