19 + x = 4(x - 3) + 7
To solve this equation, you need to simplify and solve for the variable x. Let's break it down step by step:
Distribute the 4 on the right side: 19 + x = 4x - 12 + 7
Combine like terms on the right side: 19 + x = 4x - 5
Move the x term to one side by subtracting x from both sides: 19 = 4x - x - 5
Simplify: 19 = 3x - 5
Move the constant term to the other side by adding 5 to both sides: 19 + 5 = 3x - 5 + 5
Simplify: 24 = 3x
Solve for x by dividing both sides by 3: x = 24 / 3
Simplify: x = 8
So, the solution to the equation is x = 8.
