X - 7 = 19 + x
X = 26 + x
X = -13
-13 = 26 + -13
-13 = 13
2x(-13) = 2x13
26 = 26

Irceus did it wrong.
There is no solution to the problem.
You cannot go from x = 26 + x
to x = 13.
To simplify x = 26 + x
you subtract X from both sides, leaving you with
0 = 26
No Solution.

Another reason it doesn't work:
Even if x DID equal -13, that would mean the solution is -13.
Then you would end up with -13 = 26 - 13, and get
-13 = 13, which IS NOT EQUAL.
It is not possible to get -13 to equal 13 at all.

And then he multiplies both sides by 2x, and i have no idea why the hell you would do that.
Somehow he got 26=26, which isn't possible.

2x(-13) = 2x(13)
-26x = 26x
-26(13) = 26(13)

ONCE AGAIN, THIS DOESN'T WORK.
DON'T DO YOUR MATHS WRONG TRYING TO LOOK COOL, IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT, AND YOU ARE ONE.

x - 7 = 19 + x
x - x = 19 + 7
0 = 26
