Solve 23div2=x+19

$$23 \div 2=x+19$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{15}{2} = -7\frac{1}{2} = -7.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x+19=\frac{23}{2}$$

Subtract 19 from both sides.

$$x=\frac{23}{2}-19$$

Convert 19 to fraction \frac{38}{2}.

$$x=\frac{23}{2}-\frac{38}{2}$$

Since \frac{23}{2} and \frac{38}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{23-38}{2}$$

Subtract 38 from 23 to get -15.

$$x=-\frac{15}{2}$$
