2(4x-11)+9= 19

Mutiply the bracket by 2

(2)(4)(2)(-11)+9= 19

8x-22+9= 19

8x-13= 19

Move -13 to the other side. Sign changes from -13 to +13.

8x-13+13= 19+13

8x= 32

Divide by 8

8x/8= 32/8

x= 4

Answer : x= 4

Answer:

x =4

Explanation:

2(4x-11)+9=19

apply distributive property , so we have:

2*4x -2*11 +9 =19

8x -22 +9 = 19

8x -13 = 19

8x = 19+13

8x = 32

x= 32/8

x = 4
