Solving for x. Want to solve for r or solve for w instead?
1. Subtract rx rx from both sides
19x=−37x+w−rx
2.
Add 37x37x to both sides
19x+37x=w−rx3.
3. Simplify 19x+37x19x+37x to 56x56x
56x=w−rx4.
4. Add rxrx to both sides
56x+rx=w5.
5. Factor out the common term xx
x(56+r)=w6.
6. Divide both sides by 56+r56+r

So the correct answer would be: x= w/56+r

I tried explaining it as best as possible.Hopefully these steps help you! :)
