x - 19 = 3x - 19
Add 19 to each side
x = 3x
Subtract x from each side
0 = 2x
Divide each side by 2
0 = x
Answer: x = 0

You have to get the variables on one side and the numbers on the other. So that leaves you with -19 +19 = 3x - x. Solve for both sides : 0 = 2x. Divide both sides by 2. That gives you the answer 0 = x.

x-19=3x-19 subtract x from each side
-19=2x-19 add 19 to each side
2x=0
x=0

x - 19 = 3x - 19
x - 3x = -19 +19
-2 x = 0
x = 0 / -2
x = 0

x-19=3x-19
subtract x for the left and right, then you'll have
-19=2x-19
then subtract plus 19 from each side, then you'll have
0=2x
then 0 divided by anyother number gives you 0 so
0=x

x-19=3x-19
x = 3x - 19 + 19
x = 3x
It is impossible for any number except 0 to be equal to 3 times itself.
Therefore, we can conclude that the equation has one and only one solution: x = 0

x - 19 = 3x - 19
The only possible answer is 0 because...
0 = 2x
0/2 = x
x = 0

Hey that's cheating! You're never gonna learn it if you don't figure it out yourself.
