3+2x-18=12-7x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-9.
-15+2x=12-7x
Subtract 18 from 3 to get -15.
-15+2x+7x=12
Add 7x to both sides.
-15+9x=12
Combine 2x and 7x to get 9x.
9x=12+15
Add 15 to both sides.
9x=27
Add 12 and 15 to get 27.
x=\frac{27}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
x=3
Divide 27 by 9 to get 3.
