- 19 + 5 = 6 + x
- 14 - 6 = x
x = - 20

-19 -x +5 = 6
-14 -x = 6
-x =20
x = -20


If you use 20, you get -19 -20 + 5 = -34

In order to solve this problem:

- 19 - x + 5 = 6

First, subract 19 from 5:

- 19 - x + 5 = 6
= - 14 - x = 6

Now, add 14 to both sides of the equation:

- 14 - x = 6
= - 14 - x + 14 = 6 + 14
= - x = 20

Finally, divide by -1 on both sides of the equation in order to solve for x:

- x = 20
= - x/-1 = 20/-1
= x = -20

This is the answer: x = -20. Your answer was close, but you dropped a negative sign.

Hope this helps!

First, u just have to move the like term aside
-19-x+5=6
-19+5-6=x
-20=x
x=-20

Let's see:
Get x by itself by first adding 19 to both sides

-x +5 = 25

now subtract 5

-x = 20

NOTE: Important - see the negative X. The answer is -20. x=-20.

DO the check to see

-19 -(-20) +5 =6 ?? this is the same as saying

-19 +20 +5 =6 ??

1+5=6 YES!!

Hope this helps.

It's actually -20.....when you subtract the 5 from both sides you get -19-x=1 and then adding 19 you get -x = 20 finally dividing by -1 you get x = -20

No. It's -20.

no, -20

–19 – x + 5 = 6, combine like terms
-x - 14 = 6, add 14
-x = 20, now you have to divide by negative 1
x = -20

–19 – x + 5 = 6

add 19 to both sides

-x+5 = 25

minus 5 from both sides

-x = 20

bring minus sign to other side

x = -20

so answer is -20 not 20
