Answer:

x = 32/5

Explanation:

First combine all the x terms: -19+3x-11+2x=2 becomes -19 + 5x - 11 = 2

Next, combine the constants on the left side: -30 + 5x = 2

Finally, add 30 to both sides: 5x = 32

Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x: x = 32/5

Answer:

x =
(32)/(5)

Explanation:

Given

- 19 + 3x - 11 + 2x = 2 ← simplify left side

5x - 30 = 2 ( add 30 to both sides )

5x = 32 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x =
(32)/(5) = 6.4
