Hi there!

Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

4x - 5 + 2x = 19

Firstly, we need to move over the negative value. When a value is being added or subtracted on one side, it needs to be the opposite value on the other side. In this calculation, the negative five will change into a positive 5:

4x - 5 + 2x = 19

4x + 2x = 19 + 5

4x + 2x = 24

Now we can simplify by adding the two values on the left side:

4x + 2x = 24

6x = 24

Now, to solve for x we can divide both sides by 6:


(6x)/(6) = (24)/(6)

x = 4

Hope this helps!
