Hi there!

I believe your answer is:  

x = -4

»»————- ★ ————-««  

Here’s why:  

  • We will use inverse operations to solve for 'x'.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

[tex]\boxed{\text{Solving for 'x':}}\\\\2(x-7)=10x+18\\------------\\\rightarrow 2x-14 = 10x + 18\\\\\rightarrow 2x - 14 + 14 = 10x + 18 + 14\\\\\rightarrow 2x = 10x + 32\\\\\rightarrow 2x-10x=10x-10x+32\\\\\rightarrow-8x=32\\\\\rightarrow\frac{-8x=32}{-8}\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{x=-4}[/tex]

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.  

2(x - 7) = 10x + 18
Remove the parentheses

2x - 14 = 10x + 18
Move the terms

2x - 10x = 18 + 14
Collect like terms
Calculate

- 8x=32
Divide both sides

SOLUTION

X = -4
