-5x - 5 = 3x + 19
---Move the x's to one side
-5x - 3x - 5 = 3x - 3x + 19
-8x - 5 = 19
---Isolate the -8x by removing the -5 from the left side
-8x - 5 + 5 = 19 + 5
-8x = 24
---Divide both sides by -8 to get x by itself
x = -3
Hope this helps!
-5x-5= 3x+19
= > -5x-3x= 19+5
= > -8x= 24
= >-x=24/8
= >x= -3
