Answer 1

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

1. Subtract 13 from both sides: \[ -8x + 13 - 13 = -19 - 13 \] This simplifies to: \[ -8x = -32 \]

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

So the solution to the equation is \( 4 \).
