Answer: -21

Explanation:


x+2=-19\\\\What\ value\ of\ x\ will\ make\ the\ left\ side\ equal\ to\ -19?\\\\Well,\ if\ we\ subtract\ 2\ from\ both\ sides,\ we\ get\ our\ answer...\\\\x+2-2=-19-2\\\\The\ 2\ and-2\ on\ the\ left\ cancel\ out\ leaving\ us\ with\\\\\boxed{x=-21}

We can check our work by plugging back in -21 for x and getting -19 = -19
