\Large\boxed{\tt Answer:~x=(5)/(7) }


\tt Step-by-step~explanation:

Remember: PEMDAS - Parentheses, exponents, multiply/divide, add/subtract

Distribute: 9(1+x) = 9+9x

19 - 5x = 9 + 9x

Add 5x to both sides of the equation and subtract 9 from both sides.

19 - 5x + (5x) = 9 + 9x + (5x)

19 - (9) = 9 - (9) + 14x

10 = 14x

Divide both sides by 14 to get the variable on its own.

10/14 = 14x/14

10/14=x

5/7 = x
