Let's solve the equation step by step, filling in the missing terms and providing descriptions for each operation.

  1. Start with the original equation:

    \( -19b + 19 = -12b + 19 \)

  2. Subtract 19 from both sides:

    This gives us: \[ -19b = -12b \]

  3. Add 12b to both sides:

    This gives us: \[ -19b + 12b = 0 \] Simplifying this, we get: \[ -7b = 0 \]

  4. Divide both sides by -7:

    This gives us: \[ b = 0 \]

Now let's summarize and fill in the missing descriptions:

  • Start with: \( -19b + 19 = -12b + 19 \)
  • Subtract 19 from both sides
  • Result: \( -19b = -12b \)
  • Add 12b to both sides
  • Result: \( -19b + 12b = 0 \)
  • Result simplifies to: \( -7b = 0 \)
  • Divide both sides by -7
  • Result: \( b = 0 \)

So, the missing information is:

  • Add 12b to both sides
  • Subtract 19 from both sides
  • \( b = 0 \)
  • Divide both sides by -7

Final representation: \[ b = 0 \]
