Answer:

x = 19

Explanation:

The work shown is almost complete. It can be finished by multiplying both sides of the equation by the inverse of the coefficient of x.

x-coefficient: -1/3

inverse of x-coefficient = 1/(-1/3) = -3

Then you have ...


-3\left(-(19)/(3)\right)=-3\left(-(1)/(3)x\right)\\\\19=x\qquad\text{simplify}\\\\\boxed{x=19}
