Question 437768
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........:)
