18+x\left(-15\right)=29x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
18+x\left(-15\right)-29x=0
Subtract 29x from both sides.
18-44x=0
Combine x\left(-15\right) and -29x to get -44x.
-44x=-18
Subtract 18 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-18}{-44}
Divide both sides by -44.
x=\frac{9}{22}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-18}{-44} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
