It is the steps to get to that certain step
some of the steps are out of order
I'm going to assign letters

the order is
A: 2x+5=19
B: 2x+5-5=19-5
C: 2x=14
D: 2x/2=14/2
E: x=7

A: given
B: we subtracted 5 from both sides so subtraction property of equality
C: subtract
D: divison property of equality (we divide both side by 2)
E: divide

A fisherman can row upstream at 2 mph and downstream at 8 mph. He started rowing upstream until he got tired and then rowed down

Jobisdone [24]

let's recall that d = rt, distance = rate * time.

he went upstream to a distance "d", got tired and came back to his starting point, so he rowed back a distance "d" exactly.

we know the rates, we also know the trip took 2 hours, let's say on the way over he took "t" hours to get there, on the way back he lasted then "2 - t" hours.

$\begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ Upstream&d&2&t\\ Downstream&d&8&2-t \end{array}\qquad \qquad \begin{cases} d=2t\\\\ d=8(2-t) \end{cases}$

$\stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 2nd equation}}{2t=8(2-t)\implies 2t=16-8t}\implies 10t=16\implies t=\cfrac{16}{10}\implies t=\cfrac{8}{5} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{we know that}}{d=2t}\implies d=2\left( \cfrac{8}{5} \right)\implies \stackrel{\textit{3 miles and 1056 feet}}{d=\cfrac{16}{5}\implies d=3\frac{1}{5}}$
