Did the problem state "two times the measure of the angle increased by 18 degrees. "

or "two times the measure of the angle is increased by 18 degrees. "
For the first version, I might come up with the equation:
5*x-30=2*(x+18)
For the second, I'd say it is:
5*x-30=2*x+18
Let's solve both.
5*x-30=2*(x+18)
5x-30=2x+36
3x=66
x=22
5*x-30=2*x+18
3x+48
x=16
