Question

what is the solution of the equation -8x + 13 = -19 ?

Answer 1

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

1. Subtract 13 from both sides:

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

This simplifies to:

\[
-8x = -32
\]

2. Now, divide both sides by -8:

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

This simplifies to:

\[
x = 4
\]

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