Answer

$n=\dfrac{m+5x-19}{5}$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of equality, in terms of $ n $, the given equation, $ m=19-5(x-n) $, is equivalent to \begin{array}{l} m=19-5x+5n \\\\ -5n=19-5x-m \\\\ n=\dfrac{19-5x-m}{-5} \\\\ n=-\dfrac{19-5x-m}{5} \\\\ n=\dfrac{-19+5x+m}{5} \\\\ n=\dfrac{m+5x-19}{5} .\end{array}
