Question

solve the equation -18 +3x = -6

Answer 1

You want to solve for x so add 18 from both sides of the equal sign. making it 3x=12. then divide both sides by 3 making x=4. x is 4.

Answer 2

$-18+3x=-6$

Add 18 to both sides:
$-18 +3x +18=-6+18$

$3x=12$

Divide both sides by 3:
$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{12}{3}$

$x=4$

Therefore, x=4
