Answer:

6

Explanation:

18x−(8x−7)=67

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

18x−(8x−7)=67

18x+−1(8x−7)=67(Distribute the Negative Sign)

18x+−1(8x)+(−1)(−7)=67

18x+−8x+7=67

(18x+−8x)+(7)=67(Combine Like Terms)

10x+7=67

10x+7=67

Step 2: Subtract 7 from both sides.

10x+7−7=67−7

10x=60

Step 3: Divide both sides by 10.
