3-2x-3x+18=-4x
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by x-6.
3-5x+18=-4x
Combine -2x and -3x to get -5x.
21-5x=-4x
Add 3 and 18 to get 21.
21-5x+4x=0
Add 4x to both sides.
21-x=0
Combine -5x and 4x to get -x.
-x=-21
Subtract 21 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=21
Multiply both sides by -1.
