Answer: x= -3
Step-by-step explanation: Expand: 3x-18+6=5x-6. Simplify 3x - 18 + 6 to 3x-12: 3x-12=5x-63x−12=5x−6
. Subtract 3x from both sides: −12=5x−6−3x
. Simplify 5x-6-3x5x−6−3x to 2x-62x−6: −12=2x−6
. Add 6 to both sides: -12+6=2x−12+6=2x
. Simplify -12+6−12+6 to -6. -6=2x−6=2x Divide both sides by 2: − 6/2 = x. Then switch sides: x = -3.
