-17+x-5=18-18+4
Subtract 5 from -17 to get -22.
-22+x=18-18+4
Reorder the polynomial -22+x alphabetically from left to right, starting with the highest order term.
x-22=18-18+4
Subtract 18 from 18 to get 0.
x-22=0+4
Remove the 0 from the polynomial; adding or subtracting 0 does not change the value of the expression.
x-22=4
Since -22 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by adding 22 to both sides.
x=22+4
Add 4 to 22 to get 26.
x=26
