We have equation that we need to find the value of x.

6 – 2x – x = 18

Lets make some subtraction first of the variables.

6-3x=18

Put the variables on one side and the numbers on the other side. If a number or variable changes the side, he will have its sign changed from a + into a - and vice versa.

3x=6-18

3x=-12

Divide both sides with 3.

3x/3 = -12 / 3

x=-4
