Evaluate

3 (22 - \frac{x}{2}) = 18

Multiply the terms

More Steps

66 - \frac{3 x}{2} = 18

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

- \frac{3 x}{2} = 18 - 66

Subtract the numbers

- \frac{3 x}{2} = - 48

Rewrite the expression

\frac{- 3 x}{2} = - 48

Cross multiply

- 3 x = 2 (- 48)

Simplify the equation

- 3 x = - 96

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

3 x = 96

Divide both sides

\frac{3 x}{3} = \frac{96}{3}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{96}{3}
