x=7/3

Explanation:

To solve you need to get all the x's on to one side and numbers on the other.

Start by subtracting 4x from both sides.

10x-4x+5=4x-4x+19
6x+5=19

Now you would subtract 5 from both sides.

6x+5-5=19-5
6x=14

To get x on its own we divide both side by 6.

(6x)/6=14/6
x=7/3

We have found the value of x and therefore solved the equation.
