Question

Solve : $4x+5=3x+19$

Answer 1

Simplifying
4x + 5 + -3x = 19

Reorder the terms:
5+4x+-3x=19

Combine like terms: 4x + -3x = 1x
5 + 1x = 19

Solving
5 + 1x = 19

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + -5 + 1x = 19 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + 1x = 19 + -5
1x = 19 + -5

Combine like terms: 19 + -5 = 14
1x = 14

Divide each side by '1'.
x = 14

Simplifying
x = 14
