Answer:
x=19
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we need to get x by itself
5x+38=8x-19
First, we need to move all the numbers to the same side, and all the variables to the other side
Let’s add 19 to both sides
5x+38+19=8x-19+19
5x+57=8x
Now, subtract 5x from both sides
5x-5x+57=8x-5x
57=3x
Now all the numbers are on one side, and the variables are on the other. x is still now by itself, it is being multiplied by 3. To undo this, divide both sides by 3.
57/3=3x/3
19=x
