If we are supposed to give you like a life situation that matches the equation then I have one:
You have 42 watermelons and you need to divide them into equal groups. Let n equal the number of watermelons in each group. There are 6 groups in total. How many watermelons are in each group? (solve for n).
If this is not what you were looking for then my apologies.
The first step in this equation is to Subtract 18 from both sides of the equation.
