18x-6-2x=2\left(2x-5\right)-8
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by 3x-1.
16x-6=2\left(2x-5\right)-8
Combine 18x and -2x to get 16x.
16x-6=4x-10-8
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2x-5.
16x-6=4x-18
Subtract 8 from -10 to get -18.
16x-6-4x=-18
Subtract 4x from both sides.
12x-6=-18
Combine 16x and -4x to get 12x.
12x=-18+6
Add 6 to both sides.
12x=-12
Add -18 and 6 to get -12.
x=\frac{-12}{12}
Divide both sides by 12.
x=-1
Divide -12 by 12 to get -1.
