-5-18x+24=-5x+19
-18x-5+24=-5x+19
-18x+19=-5x+19
19-19=-5x+18x
0=13x
Therefore x=0 (since 13 multiplied by 0 is 0)

Answer: x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

simplify the expression

−5−3(6x−8)=−5x+19

−5−18+24=−5+19

19−18x=−5x+19

−18+19=−5+19

−5−3(6x−8)=−5x+19

−18x+19=−5x+19

−5−3(6x−8)=−5x+19

−18x+19=−5x+19

−18+19−19=−5+19−19

−18x=−5x+19 − 19

−18x+19−19=−5x+19 − 19

−18x=−5x

−18x+5x=−5x+5x

x=−5x+5x−13

x−13=−5+5

−13x=0

−13x/−13 = 0/-13

x= 0/−13

x= 0
