Describe, using words, how to solve the equation 6-4x=18. List any properties utilized in the solution.

First of all you need to make sure that each side has only letters and numbers, for this equation you first need to subtract 6 of each side, this way you can change the equation appearence without changing it's value, because if you do something in both sides of an equation, it's ok. After subtracting 6 of each side you can divide both sides for - 4, this way you'll take only x in the left side and 12/-4 on the other, this way you will see that x = - 3

6 - 4x = 18

6 - 4x - 6 = 18 - 6

-4x = 12

-4x/-4 = 12/-4

x = - 3
