5 x - 9 x - 18 = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 4 x - 18 = 0

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

- 4 x = 0 + 18

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

- 4 x = 18

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

4 x = - 18

Divide both sides

\frac{4 x}{4} = \frac{- 18}{4}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 18}{4}
