Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{1}{4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-18x-x=5x-6\\\\-19x=5x-6\qquad\text{subtract}\ 5x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-19x-5x=5x-5x-6\\\\-24x=-6\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-24)}\\\\\dfrac{-24x}{-24}=\dfrac{-6}{-24}\\\\x=\dfrac{6:6}{24:6}\\\\x=\dfrac{1}{4}$
