Answer 2

i dont know where you got that 1from @jessiegonzales

Answer 3

remember distribute property
a(b-c)= ab- ac
so
3(2-8x)= 3(2) - 3(8x) = 6-24x

so the equation becomes

6-24x=-13-5x
+24x +24x Add 24x to both sides
--------------
6=-13+19x
+13 +13 Add 13 to both sides
----------
19=19x
-- --- divied both sides by 19
19 19

x=1
