Answer:

7x - 19 = x + 16

Explanation:

Once you get over your aversion to "word problems", you find that the translation from English is not hard.

"Seven times a number" is 7x.

Nineteen less than that is 7x-19.

"16 more than the number" is x+16.

"Is" means "is equal to," so you have ...

7x -19 = x +16 . . . . . . . matches the first choice

_____

Additional comment

The 11-digit number at the top is intended to impart an energy that may help with an aversion to word problems. The effect is subtle and often takes numerous repetitions over time.
