Answer:

The answer is x=12.

Explanation:

First, to solve this equation you need to isolate the x variable. To isolate the variable, you must, subtract the other term from both sides. Subtracting 18 from both sides, you are left with 3x = 36. Since 3 times x = 36, dividing both sides by 3 gets you, x=12.
