Answer: x = -1

Step-by-step explanation: with the formula 6(x-2)= -18

you have to divide 6 by both sides so x-2 = -3

Then if you add 2 to both sides so x is by itself

x = -3 + 2

x = -1

Explanation:


6(x - 2)= - 18 \\ 6x - 12 = - 18 \\ 6x = 12 - 18 \\ 6x = - 6 \\ \\ x = - ( 6 )/( 6) \\ \\ x = - 1
