Simplifying

6x + -18 = 54

Reorder the terms:

-18 + 6x = 54

Solving

-18 + 6x = 54

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '18' to each side of the equation.

-18 + 18 + 6x = 54 + 18

Combine like terms: -18 + 18 = 0

0 + 6x = 54 + 18

6x = 54 + 18

Combine like terms: 54 + 18 = 72

6x = 72

Divide each side by '6'.

x = 12

Simplifying

x = 12

Final Result: 12
