2(x – 7) = 10x + 18
2x-14 = 10x + 18 ------------variables on both sides
-2x    -2x 
-14 = 8x + 18
 -18         -18
-32 = 8x -------- divide by 8 to get rid of x
-4 = x

@YanaSidlinskiy  thank you

anonymous · Answer

yes im about to post it @YanaSidlinskiy

solomonzelman · Answer

2(x – 7) = 10x + 18
2(x – 7) = 2(x + 9)
x-7=x+9      add 7 to both sides
x=x+18

this is no solution, @ayeeitsme do you understand why ?
