Answer:

x = 15

Explanation:

To solve this problem we want to get the variable "x" on one side by itself.

(Step 1: Re-write equation)

19x - 45 = 240

(Step 2 : add 45 on both sides.)

19x - 45 = 240

+45 +45

--------------------------

19x = 285

(Step 2: Divide 19 on both sides)

19x/19 = 285/19

x = 15

Hope this helps :)

Answer:


x=15

Explanation:


19x-45=240


19x-45+45=240+45 (Add
45 to both sides of the equation to isolate
x)


19x=285 (Simplify)


(19x)/(19) =(285)/(19) (Divide both sides of the equation by
19 to get rid of
x's coefficient)


\bf x=15 (Simplify)

Hope this helps!
