βˆ’ 3x βˆ’ 30 = 5x + 18
βˆ’ 3x βˆ’ 30 βˆ’ 5x = 5x + 18 βˆ’5x
βˆ’8x βˆ’ 30 = 18
βˆ’ 8x βˆ’ 30 + 30 = 18 + 30
βˆ’8x = 48
negative 8x over negative 8 equals 48 over negative 8
x = βˆ’ 6
βˆ’ 3x βˆ’ 30 = 5x + 18
βˆ’3x βˆ’ 30 βˆ’ 3x = 5x + 18 βˆ’ 3x
βˆ’ 30 = 2x + 18
βˆ’30 βˆ’ 18 = 2x + 18 βˆ’18
βˆ’ 48= 2x
negative 48 over 2 equals 2x over 2
x=βˆ’24
