-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!

-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, -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
