A number increased by 4 is the same as 19 minus 2 times that number.

Solve for \( x \):
\[ x + 4 = 19 - 2x \]

x − n u mb er x + 4 = 19 − 2 x ∣ S u b t r a c t x 4 = 19 − 2 x − x 4 = 19 − 3 x ∣ S u b t r a c t 19 4 − 19 = − 3 x − 15 = − 3 x ∣ D i v i d e b y ( − 3 ) x = 5 Number is 5.

To solve for x in the equation x + 4 = 19 − 2 x , you simplify the equation to find that x = 5 . Both sides of the original equation equal 9 when you substitute x back into it, confirming the solution is correct.
