Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember the order of operations using PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). So, you get 18 - 6 / 5-1 = 12/4 = 3
It looks like a “^” because of the negative while it starts at y = -2
If you mean the equation 1/5 (5x +12) =18 then your answer would be x=15.6 or in the exact form of 78/5
Explanation : Start off with distributive property 1/5•5x and 1/5 •12, your equation should end up with 1x +2.4 =18 continue by using the 2.4 and doing the opposite, you will have 1x+2.4-2.4=18-2.4, after calculation you will have 1x=15.6 ,you can finish there or you can divide the 15.6 by one witch is still 15.6 , therefore getting your answer that is x=15.6
