Hi HAMAYUN! Welcome to AMHD!

You should be asking that in the proper forum: http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/math-sciences/

$19 = 8x-5$

Add 5 on both sides:

$19+5 = 8x\cancel{-5+5}$

$24 = 8x$

Divide both sides by 8:

$\frac{24}{8} = \frac{\cancel{8}x}{\cancel{8}}$

$3 = x$

$x = 3$

Greetings and WELCOME to the site, HAMAYUN!

I moved your question from Introductions to this forum topic area because Introductions is only for people to introduce themselves, and we try to not ask questions there.

Thanks!

This is solved in the same basic way as the other problems you've been posting:
http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/math-sc...ve-402555.html
http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/math-sc...ra-402562.html

Have you tried to go through those and learn the method use to solved them? We aren't really here to just give you "the answer." If you are not understanding the solutions to these, then you need to ask what you do not understand and have it clarified, rather than continuing to post problems that are solved in essentially the same way over and over. You aren't going to learn to do them for yourself that way.
