Solve 18 - 5(9 - x) = 8

Evaluate

18 - 5 (9 - x) = 8

Move the expression to the left side

18 - 5 (9 - x) - 8 = 0

Subtract the numbers

10 - 5 (9 - x) = 0

Calculate

More Steps

- 35 + 5 x = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

5 x = 0 + 35

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

5 x = 35

Divide both sides

\frac{5 x}{5} = \frac{35}{5}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{35}{5}
