-29=-%286x-1%29-6%285%2B3x%29 Start with the given equation.


-29=-6x%2B1-30-18x Distribute.


-29=-24x-29 Combine like terms on the right side.


-29%2B29=-24x Add 29 to both sides.


0=-24x Combine like terms.


0%2F%28-24%29=x Divide both sides by -24 to isolate 'x'


x=0 Reduce and rearrange the equation.
