Answer:

x=4

Explanation:

Apply rule -(-a)=a

6(2x-3)+4=16+18

Add the numbers: 16 + 18 = 34

6(2x-3)+4=34

Subtract 4 from both sides

6(2x=3)+4-4=34-4

Simplify

6(2x-3)=30

Divide both sides by 6

6(2x-3)/6 = 30/6

Simplify

2x-3=5

Add 3 to both sides

2x-3+3=5+3

Simplify

2x=8

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 8/2

Simplify

x=4
