2x + 3x - 19 = 5x - 3x + 8, What Is X?

At a birthday party, Raquel is giving out bags of candy. Simon has 2 bags, and then he wins a game and is given 3 more bags. He eats 19 pieces of candy. Jamal has the same amount of candy as Simon, but he had 5 bags and he owes his friend 3 bags of candy (because he ate them) and he has 8 pieces of candy. Use x to represent the unknown value. This is for my project which is due tomorrow. Thank you if can get early. Bye. And this is your girl tee tee. Toddle. Baby. Bye

    2x + 3x - 19 = 5x - 3x + 8

    5x - 19 = 2x + 8
    send 2x to left side of equation and -19 to right side.

    5x-2x = 8+19

    3x = 27
    x= 27/3

    x = 9
    The value of x is 9
