You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello, You need to bring variables to one side first so 10-5x = 1x + 18
 + 5x=+5x
 ______________
 10    = 6x + 18
 now you can bring the constants to the other side           -18
 -18  = 6x
 ___________________
 10-18 = -8     -8 = 6x/6
 now just divide by the 6                          /6 = x
 so x =-8/6 = -4/3 = -1 1/3..however you need to write your solution
 Think Math........:)
