To solve for x in the equation -6.29(x + 7.85) = -19.499, we can start by distributing -6.29 to the terms inside the parentheses:

-6.29 * x - 6.29 * 7.85 = -19.499

-6.29x - 49.3065 = -19.499

Next, we want to isolate the x term. We can do this by adding 49.3065 to both sides of the equation:

-6.29x - 49.3065 + 49.3065 = -19.499 + 49.3065

-6.29x = 29.8075

Finally, to solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by -6.29:

(-6.29x)/-6.29 = 29.8075/-6.29

x = -4.741335 */
