Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
4x + 7 = −2x + 19
Step 1: Add 2x to both sides.
4x+7+2x=−2x+19+2x 6x+7=19
Step 2: Subtract 7 from both sides
6 x+7−7=19−7
6x=12 Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.
6x over 6 = 12 over 6
X=2
Answer= X=2

subtract 7 from both sides

4x = -2x + 12

add 2x to both sides

6x = 12

divide both sides by 6

x = 2
