Solve for x
x = \frac{191}{10} = 19\frac{1}{10} = 19.1
x = -\frac{31}{2} = -15\frac{1}{2} = -15.5

|-10x+18|=173
Combine like terms and use the properties of equality to get the variable on one side of the equal sign and the numbers on the other side. Remember to follow the order of operations.
-10x+18=173 -10x+18=-173
Use the definition of absolute value.
-10x=155 -10x=-191
Subtract 18 from both sides of the equation.
x=-\frac{31}{2} x=\frac{191}{10}
Divide both sides by -10.
