Question 908513
{{{19x+8=7x-40}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{19x=7x-40-8}}} Subtract {{{8}}} from both sides.



{{{19x-7x=-40-8}}} Subtract {{{7x}}} from both sides.



{{{12x=-40-8}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{12x=-48}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-48)/(12)}}} Divide both sides by {{{12}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-4}}} Reduce.
