1. Solve for [tex]$x$[/tex].

[tex]-19 = x - 4[/tex]

A. [tex]$x=25$[/tex]

B. [tex][tex]$x=-76$[/tex][/tex]

C. [tex]$x=-23$[/tex]

D. [tex]$x=-15$[/tex]



Answer :

To solve the equation [tex]\(-19 = x - 4\)[/tex], let's follow these steps:

1. Identify the goal: We need to isolate [tex]\(x\)[/tex] on one side of the equation.

2. Add 4 to both sides: This operation will help to isolate [tex]\(x\)[/tex].
[tex]\[ -19 + 4 = x - 4 + 4 \][/tex]

3. Simplify both sides:
[tex]\[ -19 + 4 = x \][/tex]

4. Perform the arithmetic on the left side:
[tex]\[ -19 + 4 = -15 \][/tex]

5. Conclude the solution:
[tex]\[ -15 = x \][/tex]

Therefore, the correct solution is [tex]\(\boxed{-15}\)[/tex].

The answer is:
D. [tex]\(x = -15\)[/tex]
