To start, do you have any idea what your first step is?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
find x

OpenStudy (jadeishere):
9x + 18 = 28x - 4
add like terms, isolate the variable
9x = 28x -22
-19x = -22
OpenStudy (noseboy908):
Well, that's your overall goal. What I mean is: What do you have to do first?

Sorry that I couldn't help at all, obviously Noseboy will know everything to do with math
OpenStudy (noseboy908):
Correct @juvensky . Now the other side?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
28x-4
OpenStudy (noseboy908):
Correct! Now, try to get all the parts with X's, and all the parts with normal integers on their own respective sides.

-18-4 -9x+28
OpenStudy (noseboy908):
Yep! Now simplify those sides by adding/subtracting.

19x or 37
OpenStudy (noseboy908):
Hmm, go back to the previous step, where you had nothing solved except for the two sides. (Right after you distributed). Please restate that for me.
