1 answer

To solve the equation \( 13x - 1 = 19x - 25 \), we start by isolating \( x \).

  1. First, we'll subtract \( 13x \) from both sides:

\[ -1 = 19x - 13x - 25 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ -1 = 6x - 25 \]

  1. Next, add 25 to both sides to isolate the term with \( x \):

\[ -1 + 25 = 6x \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 24 = 6x \]

  1. Finally, divide both sides by 6 to solve for \( x \):

\[ x = \frac{24}{6} = 4 \]

Thus, the solution is:

\[ \boxed{4} \]
