18x - 5 = 3(6x-2)
18x-5= 18x-6

EDIT: Ok, I'm gonna do it, Give me a sec.
Ok:
First of all, you got to get rid of the stuff in the (). So 3 times 6x equals 18x and 3 times -2 equals -6.
The new equation: 18x-5=18x-6.
Now minus 18x from 18x and the other 18x. You get x-5=-6. Add 5 to the -5 and add 5 to the -6.
The answer is.... x=-1.

No, because I am a ninth grader, but I am a straight a student.
No answer (undefined)... negative five does not equal negative six
