Question 127624


{{{x+5(x-1)=19}}} Start with the given equation




{{{x+5x-5=19}}} Distribute



{{{6x-5=19}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{6x=19+5}}}Add 5 to both sides



{{{6x=24}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(24)/(6)}}} Divide both sides by 6 to isolate x




{{{x=4}}} Divide
