Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution isx=11 .

Step by step solution

01

. Apply the concept of solving an equation

To solve an equation, isolate the variable term on one side of equal sign by performing some basic algebraic operations to get rid of the numbers associated with it.

02

. Solve the equation

To solve the given equationx+8=19 , isolate the variable x on left side by subtracting 8 from both sides as follows

x+8=19x+8−8=19−8x=11

Thus, the solutions of the given equation isx=11 .

03

. Check the solution

To check the solution, substitute 11 for x in the given equation and check whether it gives a correct statement or no, that is

x+8=1911+8=1919=19Truestatement

Thus, the solution of the given equation isx=11 .
