First, let's distribute the -2 to terms inside the parentheses:
19 - 6x - 16 = 2x - 37
Simplify further:
3 - 6x = 2x - 37
Now, let's isolate x on one side of the equation. Add 6x to both sides:
3 = 8x - 37
Add 37 to both sides:
40 = 8x
Divide by 8:
x = 5
Therefore, x = 5 is the solution to the equation 19 - 2(3x+8) = 2x - 37.
