Question 612796
{{{5x-(2x-4)=19}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5x-2x+4=19}}} Distribute.



{{{3x+4=19}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{3x=19-4}}} Subtract {{{4}}} from both sides.



{{{3x=15}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(15)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{3}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=5}}} Reduce.
