Question

$$5X-11=15X-19$$

Solve for X

$X=\frac{4}{5}=0.8$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $15X$ from both sides.

$$5X-11-15X=-19$$

Combine $5X$ and $-15X$ to get $-10X$.

$$-10X-11=-19$$

Add $11$ to both sides.

$$-10X=-19+11$$

Add $-19$ and $11$ to get $-8$.

$$-10X=-8$$

Divide both sides by $-10$.

$$X=\frac{-8}{-10}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{-8}{-10}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $-2$.

$$X=\frac{4}{5}$$
