PLS help solve for x: -6(2x-5) = 18

Hey!


-6(2x-5) = 18


Switch it around and it becomes:


2x - 5 = 18 \div -6


First find 18 ÷ -6


18 \div -6 = -3

Positive ÷ negative OR negative ÷ positive is always negative.


That leaves you with:


2x - 5 = -3


Switch that around and it becomes:


-3 + 5 = 2x


Find -3 + 5


-3 + 5 = 2


That leaves you with:


2 = 2x


Divide both sides by 2 to leave <em>x</em> alone


\frac{2}{2} =  \frac{2x}{2}


\framebox{x = 1}
