Answer 1

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Start off by adding the like-terms on the left side together.

The left side of the equation will then be 3x+5

Your entire equation should now be 3x+5=x+19

Next, you want to subtract both sides by x.

This will then make the equation 2x+5=19

The next step is to subtract both sides by 5

You should then have 2x=14

Now, to find x, just divide both sides by 2

The final answer is x=7
