Answer 1

To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, we can subtract 13 from both sides of the equation:
-8x + 13 - 13 = -19 - 13
-8x = -32

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by -8 to solve for x:
-8x/-8 = -32/-8
x = 4

Therefore, the solution to the equation -8x + 13 = -19 is x = 4.

Answer: 4
