-5x-19=0\times 1
The absolute value of a real number a is a when a\geq 0, or -a when a<0. The absolute value of 1 is 1.
-5x-19=0
Multiply 0 and 1 to get 0.
-5x=19
Add 19 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{19}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=-\frac{19}{5}
Fraction \frac{19}{-5} can be rewritten as -\frac{19}{5} by extracting the negative sign.
