Solve the equation 6x + 2x - 5= 19

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 2x - 5= 19

8x -5 = 19

8x = 24

x = 3

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 2x - 5 = 19

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, combine like terms:

(6x + 2x) - 5 = 19

(8x) - 5 = 19

Next, isolate the variable, x. First, add 5 to both sides:

8x - 5 (+5) = 19 (+5)

8x = 19 + 5

8x = 24

Next, divide 8 from both sides:

(8x)/8 = (24)/8

x = 24/8

x = 3

3 is your answer for x.
