The Solution:
We are given the equation below:
[tex]-3(2x-5)-2x+6=-19[/tex]
Clearing the bracket, we get
[tex]-6x+15-2x+6=-19[/tex]
We are required to show the missing step, which is obtained by collecting the like terms.
[tex]\begin{gathered} -6x-2x+15+6=-19 \\ -8x+21=-19 \\ \text{Subtracting 21 from both sides, we get} \\ -8x+21-21=-19-21 \\ -8x=-40 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Dividing both sides by -8, we get
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{-8x}{-8}=\frac{-40}{-8} \\ \\ x=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the value of x is 5.
