$x = \frac{30}{7}$ $x=30/7$

First, expand the LHS.

$11 (14 x + 19) = 869$ $11(14x+19)=869$ is the same as :

$(11 \cdot 14 x) + (11 \cdot 19) = 869$ $(11*14x)+(11*19)=869$

Evaluate

$154 x + 209 = 869$ $154x+209=869$

Subtract $209$ $209$ from both sides.

$154 x = 660$ $154x=660$

Divide both sides by $154$ $154$ to isolate $x$ $x$

$x = \frac{30}{7}$ $x=30/7$
