Answer: x=-1/2 in decimal form -0.500

Step-by-step explanation: Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

3*(2*x-7)+5-(-19)=0

3 • (2x - 7) + 5) - -19 = 0

Pull out like factors :

6x + 3 = 3 • (2x + 1)

Solve : 2x+1 = 0

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation :

2x = -1

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

x = -1/2 = -0.500
