Answer 1

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
