Explanation:

Step 1: Define

10.5x - 1.9 = 19.1

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Add 1.9 to both sides: 10.5x = 21
  2. Divide 10.5 on both sides: x = 2

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

  1. Substitute in x: 10.5(2) - 1.9 = 19.1
  2. Multiply: 21 - 1.9 = 19.1
  3. Subtract: 19.1 = 19.1

Here we see that 19.1 does indeed equal 19.1.

∴ x = 2 is a solution to the equation.
