−27=19−2x

for x

1 answer

To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

Let's start by simplifying the equation:
-27 = 19 - 2x

To isolate x, we need to get rid of the constant term 19 and the coefficient -2.

First, subtract 19 from both sides of the equation to get rid of the constant term:
-27 - 19 = 19 - 2x - 19
-46 = -2x

Next, divide both sides of the equation by -2 to isolate x:
-46 / -2 = -2x / -2
23 = x

Therefore, the solution for x is x = 23.
