Answer:

X = 6

Explanation:

6-6X = 7X -9X -18 Combine 7x -9x

6 - 6x = -2x -18 Add 6x to both sides of the equation

6 = 4x - 18 Add 18 to both sides of the equation

24 = 4x Divide both sides by 4

6 = x

Check:

6-6X = 7X -9X -18

6 - 6(6) = 7(6) -9(6) -18

6 - 36 = 42 - 54 -18

-30 = 1-12-18

-30 =-30
