9x+18=-x_{2}
Subtract x_{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
9x=-x_{2}-18
Subtract 18 from both sides.
\frac{9x}{9}=\frac{-x_{2}-18}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
x=\frac{-x_{2}-18}{9}
Dividing by 9 undoes the multiplication by 9.
x=-\frac{x_{2}}{9}-2
Divide -x_{2}-18 by 9.
x_{2}+18=-9x
Subtract 9x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x_{2}=-9x-18
Subtract 18 from both sides.
