Answer 2

x = -33

Explanation:

It is required to find the value of x in the following equation ::

Two-thirds (x + 6) = negative 18

It means,

`(2)/(3)(x+6)=-18`

We need to simplify the above equation

`(x+6)=(-18* 3)/(2)\\\\x+6=-27`

Subtracting 6 on both sides of the equation,

`x+6-6=-27-6\\\\x=-33`

So, the value of x is (-33).
