What is the solution of the equation −8x+13=−19 ?

Question

−4 negative
3/4
−3/4
4

Answer 1

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

First, we'll add 8x to both sides of the equation:

−8x + 13 + 8x = −19 + 8x
13 = −19 + 8x

Next, we'll subtract 19 from both sides of the equation:

13 - 19 = -19 + 8x - 19
-6 = 8x - 19

Now, we'll add 19 to both sides of the equation:

-6 + 19 = 8x - 19 + 19
13 = 8x

Finally, we'll divide both sides of the equation by 8:

13/8 = 8x/8
13/8 = x

So the solution to the equation -8x+13=-19 is 13/8.
