Question 647500
{{{19-1(2x+3)=2(x+3)+x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{19-2x-3=2x+6+x}}} Distribute.



{{{-2x+16=2x+6+x}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-2x+16=3x+6}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{-2x=3x+6-16}}} 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=(-10)/(-5)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-5}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=2}}} Reduce.
