[tex]\mathsf{Solve: 6 -x- x=18}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{Combine\ your\ like\ terms}\\\mathsf{6 -\bf{x - x}\mathsf{= 18}}\\\mathsf{-x-x=-2x}\\\mathsf{Your\ new\ equation: -2x+6=18}\\\\\mathsf{Do\ the\ OPPOSITE\ symbol\ on\ both\ sides\ of\ the\ equation}\\\mathsf{Addition\ opposite\ symbol\ is\ subtraction}\\\mathsf{Subtract\ by\ 6\ on\ your\ sides}\\\mathsf{-2x+6-6=18-6}\\\mathsf{Cancel\ out{6-6\ because\ it\ gives\ us\ 0}}\\\mathsf{Keep:18-6\ because\ it\ helps\ us\solve\ for\ the\ answer}\\\\\mathsf{Next,\ divide\ both\ sides\ by\ -2}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{-2x}{-2}=\dfrac{12}{-2}}\\\\\mathsf{Cancel\ out: \dfrac{-2x}{-2}\ because\ it\ gives\ you\ the\ result\ of 1}\\\\\mathsf{Keep:\dfrac{12}{-2}\ because\ it\ gives\ the\ answer\ of\ x}\\\\\\\boxed{\bf{Answer:\mathsf{x=-6}}}}}}}\checkmark[/tex]
