Question

What is the solution 6x-19= 2(x-1) +11

Answer 1

So because of PEMDAS you want to distribute the 2 to the parentheses so you'll get

6x-19=2x-2+11

Then you can just add like terms

6x-19=2x+9

Now you want to get all your variables on one side so you'd add 19 and subtract 2x

4x=28

Now you divide 28 by 4

x = 7
