Answer:
[tex]x = 2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]18 = 6(5 - x) \\ 18 = 30 - 6x \\ 6x - 30 = - 18 \\ 6x = 30 - 18 \\ 6x = 12 \\ \\ x = \frac{12}{6} \\ \\ x = 2[/tex]
2=x
18=6(5-x) put 6 in the parentheses, you do that by multiplying 6 by everything in the parentheses 6*5 6*x> 18= 30-6x minus 30 on both sides 18-30 30-30> -12= -6x divide 12/6> 2=x
