\huge\text{Hey there!}



\mathtt{3x - 2x + 4 = 15 + 3 }


\mathtt{3x - 2x + 4 = 18}


\textsf{COMBINE the LIKE TERMS}


\mathtt{(3x - 2x) + (4) = 18}


\mathtt{3x - 2x + 4 = 18}

\mathtt{1x + 4 = 18}

\mathtt{x + 4 = 18}

\textsf{SUBTRACT 4 to BOTH SIDES}

\mathtt{x + 4 - 4 = 18 - 4}

\textsf{SIMPLIFY it}

\mathtt{x = 18 - 4}

\mathtt{x = 14}


\large\textsf{Therefore your answer should be:}\\\\\huge\boxed{\mathtt{x = 14}}}\huge\checkmark
