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.
