Answer:

x= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute:

2(x -5) -6 = -18

2x -10 -6 =-18

Subtract the numbers:

2x -10 -6 =-18

2x -16 = -18

Add 16 to both sides of the equation:

2x =16 += -18

2x -16 +16 = -18 +16

Simplify:

2x = -2

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term:

2x/2 = -2/2

Simplify:

x=-1

Answer:

x = -1
