We are given the following:


18x+4=1

To solve the equation we will first subtract 4 from both sides:


\begin{gathered} 18x+4-4=1-4 \\ 18x=-3 \end{gathered}

Now, we divide both sides by 18:


x=-(3)/(18)

Now, we simplify the expression by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3:


x=-(1)/(6)

Therefore, the value of "x" is -1/6.
