Subtract the terms
−96−19x
6−96−19x
Use b−a=−ba=−ba to rewrite the fraction
−696+19x
−696+19x=0
Simplify
−96−19x=0
Move the constant to the right side
−19x=0+96
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−19x=96
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
19x=−96
Divide both sides
1919x=19−96
Divide the numbers
x=19−96
