It's been a while since I've had to do this so I don't remember.

I have the equation 6x + 19 = x. They want me to solve for x. I'm guessing I have to move over 19 to make it the sum, but how do I do that?

You'll subtract x and 19 making it: 5x = -19.
x = -19/5 because you can't reduce it any further unless you want a decimal.
Thanks!
