First, combine like terms. x-18=-36. You want to isolate the variable, x, so add 18 to both sides. Final answer: x equals -18.

5(x) - 18 - 4(x) - (-36) = ?

X + 18 = 0
We have to subtract from 18

x - 18 -18

0 - 18 = -18

We have one solution in this problem

Therefore your answer would have to be x = -18
