Answer:

X = 6

Explanation:

  1. 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.


5x=2x+18


5x-2x = 2x-2x + 18


3x=18

2. To get x by itself, we need to divide by 3.


3x=18


(3x)/(3) = (18)/(3)

X = 6
