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

  1. Subtract 13 from both sides of the equation:

    \[ -8x + 13 - 13 = -19 - 13 \] \[ -8x = -32 \]

  2. Next, divide both sides by -8:

    \[ x = \frac{-32}{-8} \] \[ x = 4 \]

Therefore, the solution is \( x = 4 \).

Let's solve the equation step by step again to ensure accuracy:

The original equation is:

\[ -8x + 13 = -19 \]

  1. Subtract 13 from both sides:

\[ -8x + 13 - 13 = -19 - 13 \] \[ -8x = -32 \]

  1. Now, divide both sides by -8:

\[ x = \frac{-32}{-8} \] \[ x = 4 \]

The solution \( x = 4 \) is correct. If you believe I made a mistake, please clarify what the misunderstanding might be!
