$$19 - 120 \% x = 7$$

Solve for x

$$x=10$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{120}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 20.

$$19-\frac{6}{5}x=7$$

Subtract 19 from both sides.

$$-\frac{6}{5}x=7-19$$

Subtract 19 from 7 to get -12.

$$-\frac{6}{5}x=-12$$

Multiply both sides by -\frac{5}{6}, the reciprocal of -\frac{6}{5}.

$$x=-12\left(-\frac{5}{6}\right)$$

Express -12\left(-\frac{5}{6}\right) as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-12\left(-5\right)}{6}$$

Multiply -12 and -5 to get 60.

$$x=\frac{60}{6}$$

Divide 60 by 6 to get 10.

$$x=10$$
