2\left(16+2x\right)+18=9x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.
32+4x+18=9x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 16+2x.
50+4x=9x
Add 32 and 18 to get 50.
50+4x-9x=0
Subtract 9x from both sides.
50-5x=0
Combine 4x and -9x to get -5x.
-5x=-50
Subtract 50 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-50}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=10
Divide -50 by -5 to get 10.
