Answer 5

Simplifying
3x + -6 = 7x + 18

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 3x = 7x + 18

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 3x = 18 + 7x

Solving
-6 + 3x = 18 + 7x

Add '-7x' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 3x + -7x = 18 + 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: 3x + -7x = -4x
-6 + -4x = 18 + 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: 7x + -7x = 0
-6 + -4x = 18 + 0
-6 + -4x = 18

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + -4x = 18 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + -4x = 18 + 6
-4x = 18 + 6

Combine like terms: 18 + 6 = 24
-4x = 24

Divide each side by '-4'.
x = -6

Simplifying
x = -6
