Question

(x-19)/2=(x-7)/1

step by step please ​

Answer 1

X=-5

Explanation:

Since anything divided by one is still that number, then (x-7)/1 becomes x-7. So our equation now looks like:

(X-19)/2=(x-7).

Multiplying both sides by 2, we get

X-19=2x-14

Adding 19 to both sides:

X=2x+5

Subtract 2x from both sides:

-x=5

Multiplying both sides by -1, we get:

X=-5
