What is - 18 (x) = 17+x/6 Evaluated

x = - 102/109 or x = - 0.93578

Step-by-step explanation:

-18x=17+x/6

first multiply both sides by 6

-108x=102+x

next move like terms ('x') - move 'x' to the left, so you will subtract 'x' from both sides

-108x-x=102

now combine like terms (-108x + - x = - 109x)

-109x=102

next divide both sides by - 109 to isolate 'x'

x = - 102/109 or in decimal form - x = - 0.93578
