Answer:

x = 8

Explanation:

rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

6*x-18-(30)=0

STEP 1:

Pulling out like terms

Pull out like factors :

6x - 48 = 6 • (x - 8)

STEP 2:

Equations that are never true:

Solve: 6=0

This equation has no solution.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

Solve : x-8 = 0

Add 8 to both sides of the equation :

x = 8
