Solve for the variable plzzz

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

First, add 2x and subtract 18 from both sides:

5x - x + 18 (-18) (+2x) = 6 - 2x (+2x) - 30 (-18)

5x - x + 2x = 6 - 30 - 18

Next, simplify. Combine like terms:

(5x - x) + 2x = 6 + (-30 - 18)

(4x) + 2x = 6 + (-48)

6x = -42

Next, fully isolate the variable, x, by dividing 6 from both sides:

(6x)/6 = (-42)/6

x = -42/6 = -7

x = -7 is your answer.
