Question

If 24 - 2x = 19 + 3x, then x =

Answer 1

Answer:

1 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

24 - 2x = 19 + 3x

Add 2x to each side

24 - 2x+2x = 19 + 3x+2x

24 = 19 +5x

Subtract 19 from each side

24-19 =19+5x-19

5 = 5x

Divide by 5

5/5 = 5x/5

1 =x

Answer 2

$\longrightarrow{\green{ \: x = 1 }}$ 

$\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {Step-by-step\:explanation:}}}$

$24 - 2x = 19 + 3x$

Combine like terms,

➺ $\: 3x + 2x = 24 - 19$

➺ $\: 5x = 5$

➺ $\: x = \frac{5}{5}$

➺ $\: x = 1$

$\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {To\:verify:}}}$

➼ $24 - 2 \times 1 = 1 9+ 3 \times 1$

➼ $\: 24 - 2 = 19 + 3$

➼ $\: 22 = 22$

➼ $\: L.H.S.=R. H. S$

Hence verified.
