Question

4× + 5= - 8+ 2× + 19

Answer 1

The given equation is

$4x+5=-8+2x+19$

First, we reduce like terms

$4x+5=2x+11$

Now, we subtract 2x on each side

$\begin{gathered} 4x+5-2x=2x+11-2x \\ 2x+5=11 \end{gathered}$

Then, we subtract 5 on each side

$\begin{gathered} 2x+5-5=11-5 \\ 2x=6 \end{gathered}$

At last, we divide the equation by 2

$\begin{gathered} \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{6}{2} \\ x=3 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the solution is 3.
