2+3x+6=18-2x
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+2.
8+3x=18-2x
Add 2 and 6 to get 8.
8+3x+2x=18
Add 2x to both sides.
8+5x=18
Combine 3x and 2x to get 5x.
5x=18-8
Subtract 8 from both sides.
5x=10
Subtract 8 from 18 to get 10.
x=\frac{10}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=2
Divide 10 by 5 to get 2.
