Add 18 to both sides: We need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation. To do this, we will add 18 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the −18 on the left side.3x−18+18=0+18
Simplify the equation: After adding 18 to both sides, we simplify the equation.3x=18
Divide by 3: Now, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for x.33x=318
Find the value of x: After dividing by 3, we find the value of x.x=6
