Solve for x 8x-6x+4+5=19

$8 x - 6 x + 4 + 5 = 19$

Step 1

Simplify $8 x - 6 x + 4 + 5$ .

Subtract $6 x$ from $8 x$ .

$2 x + 4 + 5 = 19$

Add $4$ and $5$ .

$2 x + 9 = 19$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $9$ from both sides of the equation.

$2 x = 19 - 9$

Subtract $9$ from $19$ .

$2 x = 10$

Step 3

Divide each term in $2 x = 10$ by $2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $2 x = 10$ by $2$ .

$\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{10}{2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{10}{2}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{10}{2}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $10$ by $2$ .

$x = 5$
