Answer:

x=18

Explanation:

To solve for x, remember to ask yourself what is being done to x, then do the opposite to cancel it out and get x by itself. In this case, what is being done to x? 1 is added to it. So you have to do the opposite, which is subtract 1. You have to subtract 1 from each side because what you do to one side, you always have to do to the other.

19=1+x

19-1=1+x-1

18=x which is the same as x=18
