______________________________
<h3>1.) Combine x and 3x:</h3>
<em> - We combine the </em><em> variables because to get to the end sum of the equation, there can only be 1 variable. So to get the 1, you combine like terms. </em>
<em />
<h3>2.) Add 19 to both sides:</h3>Cancels Out
- <em></em>
<em></em>
<em> - We do this to get 1 number left over. To do this you do the opposite of what you see. In this case we have a negative 19, so you add 19 on each side of the equals. </em>
<em />
<h3>3.) Divide both sides by 4:</h3>÷
÷
<em> - We do this to get x alone. To do this you do the opposite of what you see. In this case we have </em><em> which is multiplying, so you divide by 4 on each side. </em>
<em />
So your answer is .
