Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

type out the words into numbers

18 - 8x = -6x

add 6x on both sides

18 - 2x = 0

subtract 18 on both sides

-2x = -18

divide by -1

2x = 18

divide by 2

x = 9

Hey there!

18 minus 8 times a number is equal to -6 times the number.

Let's take the number as 'x'. So, the equation we can form = 18 - 8x = -6x

Now, let's solve for x.

18 - 8x = -6x

18 = -6x + 8x

18 = 2x

18/2 = x

9 = x

Hope it helps ya!
