8x-7=15%2B19x Start with the given equation.


8x=15%2B19x%2B7 Add 7 to both sides.


8x-19x=15%2B7 Subtract 19x from both sides.


-11x=15%2B7 Combine like terms on the left side.


-11x=22 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2822%29%2F%28-11%29 Divide both sides by -11 to isolate x.


x=-2 Reduce.
