slowly.... muhaha :D

First, check for terms with the same variable or multiples of coefficients. In this case, factor out the x:

x(2x + 19) = 42

So, x = 0 or 2x + 19 = 42

Then solve for x in the other equation.

42 - 19 = 23

2x = 23

x = 11.5

Therefore, x = 0 or x = 11.5

Those are the two solutions to the equation.
