Answer 2

Answer:

• $\boxed{\sf x=2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf 19 =5+7x$

First, let's swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$\sf 5+7x=19$

Subtract 5 from both sides:

$\sf 7x=19-5$

Subtract 5 from 19:

$\sf 7x=14$

Divide both sides by 7:

$\sf \cfrac{7x}{7} =\cfrac{14}{7}$

$\sf x=2$
