19-(3-x) = 5x. Can u show your work please? I know how to solve questions like these but couldn't figure it out with that x after the 5 '

19-3+x=5x

16+x=5x
16=4x
x=4

Thank you :)

Of course! Let's solve the equation step by step.

First, distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses:

19 - 3 + x = 5x

Simplify:

16 + x = 5x

Now, to isolate the variable x, we want to move all the terms involving x to one side of the equation.

Subtract x from both sides:

16 + x - x = 5x - x

Simplify:

16 = 4x

Finally, divide both sides by 4 to solve for x:

16/4 = 4x/4

Simplify:

4 = x

Therefore, the solution to the equation 19 - (3 - x) = 5x is x = 4.
