[tex]5x - 7 = 19[/tex]
Move -7 to another side and become + 7. Whenever we move to another side, we change the sign/operator to opposite. Ergo, changing from plus to minus and multiply to divide.
[tex]5x = 19 + 7 \\ 5x = 26[/tex]
We are at this part. Now to move 5 which is multiplying the x. So we move 5 from multiply to divide 26.
[tex]x = \frac{26}{5} [/tex]
Ergo, the answer is x = 26/5
