Areal world problem with 0.75x-18.50=0.65x

First you need to get both x variables on the same side of the equation.

0.75x – 18.50 = 0.65 x
0.75x + (-0.75x) – 18.50 = 0.65x – 0.75x
-18.50 = -0.1x
-18.50/-0.1 = -0.1x/-0.1
185 = x

Texas’ gulf coastal plains are the western extension of the coastal plain extending from the atlantic ocean to beyond the rio grande. its characteristic rolling to hilly surface covered with a heavy growth of pine and hardwoods extends into east texas. in the increasingly arid west, however, its forests become secondary in nature, consisting largely of post oaks and, farther west, prairies and brushlands.
