-13x = -65
what do you have to do to get rid of the -13 on the left?
do that also to the right.
To solve the equation -13x = -65, we want to find the value of x that satisfies the equation.
To isolate the variable x, we can divide both sides of the equation by -13 (since dividing by -13 on both sides will give us an equivalent equation). This yields:
-13x / -13 = -65 / -13
Simplifying, we get:
x = 5
Therefore, the value of x that satisfies the equation -13x = -65 is x = 5.
