8 – (4x – 3) = 19
Get the 8 out.
– (4x – 3) = 19 - 8
simplify and distribute.
-4x + 3 = 11
Take out the 3.
-4x = 8
divide both sides by -4 to get x all by itself.
x = -2

8 - 4x + 3 = 19
11 - 4x = 19
11 - 19 = 4x
-8 = 4x
â´ x = -2

First you distribute:
8 - 4x + 3 = 19
subtract 8 from both sides
subtract 3 from both sides
then you have -4x = 8
divide both sides by -4 and you will get x = -2.

-4x +3=19-8
-4x +3=11
-4x=11-3
-4x=8
-x=8/-4
-x=-2

8 - 1(4x-3) = 19
8 - 4x + 3 = 19
-4x = 19 - 3 - 8
-4x = 8
-4x/-4 = 8/-4
x = -2
