+4x+%2B+3%28x-2%29+=+18+-+x+
+4x+%2B+3x+-+6+=+18+-+x+
+7x+-+6+=+18+-+x+
Add +x+ to both sides
+8x+-+6+=+18+
Add +6+ to both sides
+8x+=+18+%2B+6+
+8x+=+24+
Divide both sides by +8+
+x+=+3+
----------
Check answer by plugging
this value back into equation
+4x+%2B+3%28x-2%29+=+18+-+x+
+4%2A3+%2B+3%2A%283-2%29+=+18+-+3+
+12+%2B+3%2A1+=+15+
+15+=+15+
OK
