This question is about a linear equation.

The given equation is


-2x-12=9x+18

First, we need to organize the equation. On the right side terms without variables, on the left side with variables.


-2x-9x=18+12

Second, we reduce like terms


-11x=30

Third, we divide by -11


(-11x)/(-11)=(30)/(-11)\rightarrow x=-(30)/(11)

Therefore, the variable is equal to -30/11.
