4+2\left(-x\right)+36=2
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by -x+18.
40+2\left(-x\right)=2
Add 4 and 36 to get 40.
2\left(-x\right)=2-40
Subtract 40 from both sides.
2\left(-x\right)=-38
Subtract 40 from 2 to get -38.
-x=\frac{-38}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
-x=-19
Divide -38 by 2 to get -19.
x=19
Multiply both sides by -1.
