This equation uses the distributive property.
Let the numbers be x = 5x+18
3(5x+18) + 4x= 16
15x+ 54+ 4x= 16
19x = 16-54
X=-38/19
X= -2
5x+18= 5 × -2+18 = 8
The equation simplified (combine like terms) would be 11x+(-24) =180.
Since adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive, you could also write it as this: 11x-24=180. Next step is isolate the variable, so to do that you need to add 24 to both sides of the equation: 11x-24+24=180+24. This is the same as 11x=204. Now to get only one of the variable, you need to divide both sides by 11. x=18.54 repeating or x=18 6/11. Hope this helped!
