Answer:
Simplifying
-27 = 19 + -2x
Solving
-27 = 19 + -2x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '2x' to each side of the equation.
-27 + 2x = 19 + -2x + 2x
Combine like terms: -2x + 2x = 0
-27 + 2x = 19 + 0
-27 + 2x = 19
Add '27' to each side of the equation.
-27 + 27 + 2x = 19 + 27
Combine like terms: -27 + 27 = 0
0 + 2x = 19 + 27
2x = 19 + 27
Combine like terms: 19 + 27 = 46
2x = 46
Divide each side by '2'.
x = 23
Simplifying
x = 23
