Question

$$18-(6x+5)=4-7x$$

Solve for x

$x=-9$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

To find the opposite of $6x+5$, find the opposite of each term.

$$18-6x-5=4-7x$$

Subtract $5$ from $18$ to get $13$.

$$13-6x=4-7x$$

Add $7x$ to both sides.

$$13-6x+7x=4$$

Combine $-6x$ and $7x$ to get $x$.

$$13+x=4$$

Subtract $13$ from both sides.

$$x=4-13$$

Subtract $13$ from $4$ to get $-9$.

$$x=-9$$
