Answer:
[tex]x=0[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following question:
[tex]-5 - 3(x - 8) = -5x + 19[/tex]
To find the answer expand the equation, add/subtract on both sides, and simplify the expression.
[tex]-5 - 3(x - 8) = -5x + 19[/tex]
[tex]-5-3(x-8)=-3x+19[/tex]
[tex]-3x+19=-5x+19[/tex]
[tex]19-19=0[/tex]
[tex]19-19=0[/tex]
[tex]-3x=-5x[/tex]
[tex]-3x+5x=-5x+5x[/tex]
[tex]-3x+5x=2x[/tex]
[tex]2x=0[/tex]
[tex]2x\div2=x[/tex]
[tex]0\div2=0[/tex]
[tex]x=0[/tex]
Your answer is "x = 0."
Hope this helps.
