I think of a number. (x)
I multiply it by 5.
5x
I then subtract 19.
5x-19
Finally, I double the result.
(5x-19)*2
The result is 22.
(5x-19)*2=22
5x-19 = 11 (dividing by 2)
5x =19+11
5x =30
x=15
15 the original number.

Anyone, who will take a job/(a labor) to check the solution by @mananth, will see in a minute

Use the solution and the answer by @Boreal, which is CORRECT.
Ignore the post by @mananth, for your safety . . .
