Question

3x -5x + 8x = 4x + 18

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 5x + 8x = 4x + 18

combine like terms on the left side and you get 6x = 4x + 18

then you subtract 4x from both sides

you get 2x = 18

divide each side by 2 and you get x = 9

Answer 2

First get any number with x on one side of the equation
3x - 5x + 8x - 4x = -18
Then evaluate
2x = -18
