1 answer

Let's solve the equation step by step.

  1. Start with the original equation: \[ 10x + 13 = -12 \]

  2. Subtract 13 from both sides: \[ 10x = -12 - 13 \] This simplifies to: \[ 10x = -25 \]

  3. Now, divide both sides by 10: \[ x = \frac{-25}{10} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = -2.5 \]

So, the complete solution is:

  • 10x = -25 (after subtracting 13)
  • x = -2.5 (after dividing by 10)
