How do you solve 5x-(x+3)=(9x+18)-5

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-(x+3)=1/3(9x+18)-5

5x-x+3=3x+6-5

1/3 multiplied by 9/1 is three because if you take away the ones and put your problem like this: 9/3, you'll get 3.

1/3 multiplied by 18/1 is six because if you take away the ones and switch to division, it'll look like this: 18/3. 18/3 is 6.

5x-1x+3=3x+6-5

If a variable is alone, you should - in this case - put a one before it, but if the variable is alone you should know that it's automatically a one.

4x+3=3x-1

6-5=1 Simple math problem, probably self explanatory

4x+3=3x-1

Subtract 3x from 4x and you'll get 1x because 4-3 is 1.

1x+3=-1

Then you add 3 to -1 which is 2.

The answer is 1x=2

Or you could've done:

4x+3=3x-1

-4x    -4x

   3=-1x-1

 +-1    +-1

2=1x

It's the same answer, but all I did was subtract the 4x from the 4x and 3x.
