To solve the equation, we first need to distribute and simplify on both sides:
13(15-2x) - 9(3x-23) = -22195 - 26x - 27x + 207 = -22195 - 53x + 207 = -22402 - 53x = -22
Next, we isolate the variable by moving constants to the other side:
-53x = -22 - 402-53x = -424
Finally, we solve for x by dividing both sides by -53:
x = -424 / -53x = 8
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 8.
To solve the equation, we first need to distribute and simplify on both sides:

195 - 26x - 27x + 207 = -22
195 - 53x + 207 = -22
402 - 53x = -22
Next, we isolate the variable by moving constants to the other side:
-53x = -22 - 402
-53x = -424
Finally, we solve for x by dividing both sides by -53:
x = -424 / -53
x = 8
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 8.
