Explain how to solve the equation 2 (4x-11) + 9=19

X=4, first you distribute the 2 to both 4x and - 11 which leaves you with 8x-22+9=19 next you add - 22 with 9 which leaves you - 13 the eqation now at 8x-13=19 so now you add 13 to both sides now youre left with 8x=32. Now the last step is to divide 8 on both sides. so that gives you the answer or X=4
