Question 238245
Hello.  You submitted an equaiton under the title of inequality.  I don't know if you chose the wrong title or if you used to wrong mathematical symbol.  So, you need to verify that part.
.
We need to multiply 8 by the contents in the parenthesis, combine like terms, and solve for x.
.
{{{8(x+5)-6=18}}}
{{{(8*x)+(8*5)-6=18}}}
{{{8x+40-6=18}}}
{{{8x+34=18}}}
{{{8x=18-34}}}
{{{8x=-16}}}
{{{x=-(16/8)}}}
{{{x=-2}}} <-- verify whether it should be eqn or inequality
