First distribute
19 - 3(2x - 1)=7
19 - 6x + 3 =7
Then combine like terms
-6x + 22 = 7
What's next?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sub 22 for both side of the equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im lost i do not get where the 22 comes from
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
19 + 3 = 22
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
that's after you combine like terms

so -6x +22= 7
-22 -22
---------------

OpenStudy (anonymous):
no i mean divide -6 for both side of the equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
huh?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so we want x to be alone after all we are solving the value of x
OpenStudy (anonymous):

I new the answer but it is difficult for me to write the steps on the computer. Thex
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank you all
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Haha then no need for my help :)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
19 - 3(2x - 1)=7
19 - 6x + 3 = 7
- 6x + 22 = 7
-6x = 7 - 22
-6x = -15
x = -15/(-6)
x = 5/2
x = 2.5
I would personally go with x = 5/2, but x = 2.5 works just as well
