-19x-34=56-x Start with the given equation.


-19x=56-x%2B34 Add 34 to both sides.


-19x%2Bx=56%2B34 Add x to both sides.


-18x=56%2B34 Combine like terms on the left side.


-18x=90 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2890%29%2F%28-18%29 Divide both sides by -18 to isolate x.


x=-5 Reduce.
