Hello!

The answer to your problem is
x=-117

Simplify both sides of the equation


(28)(9)=18-2x\\252=18+-2x\\252=-2x+18

Flip the equation


-2x+18=252

Subtract 18 from both sides


-2x+18-18=252-18\\-2x=234

Divide both sides by -2 (Final Step)


-2x/-2=-234/-2

Get your answer


x=-117

Answer: x= -117

Explanation:

28*9 = 18 + (-2x)

252 = 18 + (-2x)

252 - 18 = 18 - 18 + (-2x)

234 = -2x

234/-2 = -2x/-2

x = -117
