Question

solve the equation
3x-7=5x+19

Answer 1

x=-13

Answer 2

3x-7=5x+19
-7=2x+19
-7-19=2x
-26=2x
x=-13

Answer 3

Subtract 3x both the sides:

\[3x - 7 - 3x = 5x + 19 - 3x\]

\[-7 = 2x + 19\]

Subtract 19 both the sides now:

\[-7 - 19 = 2 x + 19 - 19\]
\[-26 = 2x\]

Now divide by 2 both the sides to find x:

\[\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{-26}{2} \implies \color{green}{x = -13}\]
