One solution was found :

x = -8

Rearrange:

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

5*x-(x+3)-(1/3*(9*x-18)-5)=0

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

1

Simplify —

3

Equation at the end of step 1 :

1

(4x - 3) - ((— • (9x - 18)) - 5) = 0

3

3.1 Pull out like factors :

9x - 18 = 9 • (x - 2)

Equation at the end of step 3 :

(4x - 3) - (3 • (x - 2) - 5) = 0

Step 4 :

Equation at the end of step 4 :

x + 8 = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

5.1 Solve : x+8 = 0

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation :

x = -8

One solution was found :

x = -8
