Answer:

x= 92/5 or 18.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Get 19x by itself by adding 187 to both sides which cancels it out on the left, thus leaving you with:

19x=9x-3+187

Now we know -3+187= 184 so you simplify to:

19x=9x+184

Next, Subtract 9x from both sides to cancel it out and you're left with:

10x=184

Now divide both sides by 10 and you're left with:

92/5 or 18.4
