Question

(5x+38)=(8x-19) what is the answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

x=19

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to get x by itself

5x+38=8x-19

First, we need to move all the numbers to the same side, and all the variables to the other side

Let’s add 19 to both sides

5x+38+19=8x-19+19

5x+57=8x

Now, subtract 5x from both sides

5x-5x+57=8x-5x

57=3x

Now all the numbers are on one side, and the variables are on the other. x is still now by itself, it is being multiplied by 3. To undo this, divide both sides by 3.

57/3=3x/3

19=x

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 38 = 8x - 19

by transposing method,

5x - 8x = -19-38

-3x = -57

3x = 57

x = 57/3

x = 19
