-8x+13=-19

1 answer

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

  1. Subtract 13 from both sides to isolate the term with \(x\): \[ -8x + 13 - 13 = -19 - 13 \] This simplifies to: \[ -8x = -32 \]

  2. Divide both sides by -8 to solve for \(x\): \[ x = \frac{-32}{-8} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 4 \]

So the solution is \(x = 4\).
