Solve the following equation using distributive property-19=5(x + 9) a. x= -64/5b. x= - 33/7c. x= 13/5d. x= -37/7

Hi there!

Here is the step by step solving :

-19 = 5(x + 9)

Distribute the 5 to the entire parentheses

5 × x = 5x

5 × 9 = 45

-19 = 5x + 45

Subtract 45 from each side of the equation

-64 = 5x

Divide each side of the equation by 5

-64/5 = x

So your answer is : A. x = -64/5

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's aything just let me know! :)
