Answer:

x = -9 + 11y

Explanation:

Simplifying

2x + -22y = -18

Solving

2x + -22y = -18

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '22y' to each side of the equation.

2x + -22y + 22y = -18 + 22y

Combine like terms: -22y + 22y = 0

2x + 0 = -18 + 22y

2x = -18 + 22y

Divide each side by '2'.

x = -9 + 11y

Simplifying

x = -9 + 11y

Hope this helps!!
