19-1%282x%2B3%29=2%28x%2B3%29%2Bx Start with the given equation.


19-2x-3=2x%2B6%2Bx Distribute.


-2x%2B16=2x%2B6%2Bx Combine like terms on the left side.


-2x%2B16=3x%2B6 Combine like terms on the right side.


-2x=3x%2B6-16 Subtract 16 from both sides.


-2x-3x=6-16 Subtract 3x from both sides.


-5x=6-16 Combine like terms on the left side.


-5x=-10 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-10%29%2F%28-5%29 Divide both sides by -5 to isolate x.


x=2 Reduce.
