Answer:

D

Explanation:

in order to get the process of solving the equation, we need to solve it.

our goal to solve the equation 6x-19=77 is to isolate the variable onto one side, and have the numbers (value of x) on the other

we have the equation:

6x-19=77

first, we can get rid of -19 on the left side and leave 6x on that side by adding 19 to both sides (-19+19=0).

The reason why we're adding 19 to both sides is because if we do something to one side, we have to do it to the other side to make sure the value of the equation stays the same.

6x-19= 77

+19 +19

_________

6x=96

now, we do have the variables on one side and the numbers on another side, but we aren't done yet, as we want the value of x by itself

divide by 6 on both sides

x=16 (because 6x/6=1x, or x. 96/6=16).

the option of D shows the same method I did and has the correct answer as well.

This is what was given for D:

6x-19=77

6x-19+19=77+19

6x=96

6x/6=96/6

x=16

(same thing I did)

So D is the correct answer.

Hope this helps!
