Answer:
X = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
- First, we need to move all the terms containing X to the left side of the equation. We need to subtract 2x from both sides of the equation.
[tex]5x=2x+18[/tex]
[tex]5x-2x = 2x-2x + 18[/tex]
[tex]3x=18[/tex]
2. To get x by itself, we need to divide by 3.
[tex]3x=18[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{18}{3}[/tex]
X = 6
