Subtract 18x from both sides of the equation. You then have
38x + 6 - 5 = 0 . Now subtract 6 from both sides and you now have 38x -5 = -6 . Next you add 5 to each side and you get
38x = -1. Last you divide each side by 38 and you have
x = -1/38.

1. Move the 18x to the other side by suntracting it from both sides. So now we have: 52x - 18x + 6 - 5
2. You need to get the numbers without variables to the other side now. So now we have 52x - 18x = -6 + 5 OR 52x -18x= -1
3. Simplify: 34x = -1
4. Solve for x...divide both sides by 34 to get x by itself:
x = -1/34
YAY, you're done (:
Best Answer, don't ya think?

First, simplify:
52x+1=18x (add 6 and -5)
Then subtract 52x from each side of the equation:
1= -34x
Then solve for x by dividing each side by -34:
x=-1/34

52x+ 6 - 5 = 18x
52x + 1 = 18x
1 = -34x
-1/34 = x
it doesn't matter what all the others say
x = -1/34
everyone who says that is right
it doesn't matter which way you do it
you should come out with the answer being
x = -1/34
I PROMISE

First, simplify...
52x + 1 = 18x
Then, get the x terms on one side of the equation. Remember - whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must do to the other. Then, solve for X -- since something is multiplied by X, you must do the "opposite" of that to solve for it (divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient)

X = -1/32 <<<< SUBTRACT 18X FROM BOTH SIDES, YOU GET 34X+6-5=0 THEN ADD 5 ON BOTH SIDES AND SUBTRACT 6 ON BOTH SIDES THEN YOU GET 32X=-1.. NOW DIVIDE 32 ON BOTH SIDES.... X= -1/32
