8x-(2x+5)=19
The solution is x=4
is this correct?
8x-(2x+5)=19
6x-5=19
6x=24
x=4, so yes you are correct
Thank you so much
To check if the solution x=4 is correct for the equation 8x - (2x+5) = 19, we need to substitute x=4 back into the equation and see if both sides are equal.
So, let's substitute x=4 into the equation:
8(4) - (2(4) + 5) = 19
32 - (8 + 5) = 19
32 - 13 = 19
19 = 19
Both sides of the equation are equal, which means that x=4 is indeed the correct solution to the equation 8x - (2x+5) = 19.
Therefore, the statement x=4 is correct.
