Hi,
what is the best way to figure out what x is?
By performing 'allowable Operations to 'isolate' x on ONE side of the Equal Sign:
So we can READ x = (it's value)
-3x-19=5-2x |Adding 3x to both sides of the Equation
-19 = 5 + x |Adding -5 to both sides of the Equation
-24 = x
YES!
x = -24
CHECKING our answer***
72-19 = 5+48 = 53
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
