[tex] \large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}[/tex]
[tex] \sf5 x + 9 - 3 x = 18 + 15[/tex]
Combine 5x and -3x to get 2x.
[tex] \sf2x+9=18+15 [/tex]
Add 18 and 15 to get 33.
[tex] \sf2x+9=33 [/tex]
Subtract 9 from both sides.
[tex] \sf2x=33-9 [/tex]
Subtract 9 from 33 to get 24.
[tex] \sf2x=24 [/tex]
Divide both sides by 2.
[tex] \sf \: x=\frac{24}{2} \\ [/tex]
Divide 24 by 2 to get 12.
[tex] \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf \: x=12 }}[/tex]
