1 answer

To solve the equation \( 10x + 13 = -12 \):

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

  2. Divide both sides by 10: \[ x = \frac{-25}{10} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = -2.5 \]

So the completed steps are:

  • \( 10x = -25 \)
  • \( x = -2.5 \)
