Confused be more detailed ;)
Please not trying to be rid
What's happening is that every subtraction can be written as "addition of the opposite."
18-5 = 18 + (-5)
One reason this is done in the work you showed is that they're trying to show why you distribute the negative and the 1 into the parentheses, why you multiply everything in the parentheses by "-1" and not just 1.
The other reason is to later to be able to move the individual terms around, so you'll be able to combine like terms.
When you move terms around, the sign has to stay attached to the term, so writing all the subtractions as addition helps keep the sign attached.
Divide each side by 16
x = 3

Concepts that I had previously learned about are quite important because math goes hand and hand. if you try to skip something and go ahead you'll most likely get confused because there could of been something highly important to that would help you understand whats ahead. in the previous unit it tells you about triangles and their description like a right triangle-90 degree angle and where legs and hypotenuse is located, this unit has had a ton about right triangles.
