To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

6x - 5 = 19

First, we can add 5 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -5 on the left side:

6x - 5 + 5 = 19 + 5

This simplifies to:

6x = 24

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for x:

(6x)/6 = 24/6

This simplifies to:

x = 4

Therefore, the solution to the equation 6x - 5 = 19 is x = 4.
