Answer:

Explanation:

Because if you add 18x to both sides of the equation, you get 0 = -18

Explanation:

When you combine like terms in the equation, you get -18x = -18x - 18. After adding 18x to both sides, you have 0 = -18. This is not true, which means that there are no solutions to the equation.
