Answer:
- [tex]\boxed{\sf x=2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\sf 19 =5+7x[/tex]
First, let's swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
[tex]\sf 5+7x=19[/tex]
Subtract 5 from both sides:
[tex]\sf 7x=19-5[/tex]
Subtract 5 from 19:
[tex]\sf 7x=14[/tex]
Divide both sides by 7:
[tex]\sf \cfrac{7x}{7} =\cfrac{14}{7}[/tex]
[tex]\sf x=2[/tex]
