Subtract 4 from both sides to get 3x = 15.
Divide by 3 on both sides to get x = 5.
Plug this back in.
3(5) + 4 = 19.
15 + 4 = 19.
19 = 19
Divide by 3 on both sides to get x = 5.
Plug this back in.
3(5) + 4 = 19.
15 + 4 = 19.
19 = 19
3x + 4 = 19
Take away 4 from both sides:
3x = 15
Divide both sides by 3:
x = 5
Answer: x = 5
To check, we plug x = 5 into the equation:
3x + 4 = 19
3(5) + 4 = 19
19 = 19 (✓ correct)
