Answer 1

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

1. Subtract 13 from both sides:

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

2. Now, divide both sides by -8:

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

So the solution to the equation \(-8x + 13 = -19\) is \(4\).

The correct response is:

4
