Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add by 7 from both sides of an equation.


2x-7+7=19+7

Then, simplify by equation.


19+7=26


2x=26

Next, divide by 2 from both sides of an equation.


(2x)/(2)= (26)/(2)

Finally, simplify or dividing by the numbers.


26/2=13


13*2=26


2*13=26


26/13=2

Answer:
x=13

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Hope this helps!
