5x-4=3x+18
(add 4 to from sides)

5x=3x+22
(subtract 3x from both sides)

2x=22
(divide both sides by 2)

x=11

Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 3x from both sides.

5x−4−3x=3x+18−3x

2x−4=18

Step 2: Add 4 to both sides.

2x−4+4=18+4

2x=22

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2

2x/2= 22/2

x= 11
