Solve the following question: 6x+18=3x-23

x = - 41/3 (improper fraction)

x = - 13 2/3 (mixed number)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x+18=3x-23

Subtract 3x from each side

6x-3x+18=3x-3x-23

3x + 18 = - 23

Subtract 18 from each side

3x+18-18 = - 23-18

3x = - 41

3x/3 = - 41/3

x = - 41/3

x = - 13 2/3

-13 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 6x + 18 = 3x - 23 (Subtract 3x from both sides)

2. 3x + 18 = - 23 (Subtract 18 from both sides)

3. 3x = - 41 (divide both sides by 3)

4. x = - 13 2/3
