Solve 18x=10-[(16x+14)-36x]

$$18 x = 10 - [ ( 16 x + 14 ) - 36 x ]$$

Solve for x

$$x=2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine 16x and -36x to get -20x.

$$18x=10-\left(-20x+14\right)$$

To find the opposite of -20x+14, find the opposite of each term.

$$18x=10-\left(-20x\right)-14$$

The opposite of -20x is 20x.

$$18x=10+20x-14$$

Subtract 14 from 10 to get -4.

$$18x=-4+20x$$

Subtract 20x from both sides.

$$18x-20x=-4$$

Combine 18x and -20x to get -2x.

$$-2x=-4$$

Divide both sides by -2.

$$x=\frac{-4}{-2}$$

Divide -4 by -2 to get 2.

$$x=2$$
