Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

13(8x−5)−4=−3

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

13(8x−5)−4=−3

(13)(8x)+(13)(−5)+−4=−3 (Distribute)

83x+−53+−4=−3

(83x)+(−53+−4)=−3 (Combine Like Terms)

83x+−173=−3

83x+−173=−3

Step 2: Add 17/3 to both sides.

83x+−173+173=−3+173

83x=83

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 3/8.

(38)*(83x)=(38)*(83)

X = 1
