(18x + 21)
x = _____
To solve the equation, we need to isolate x. Here is the order to write and solve the equation for x:
1. Write the equation: x = (18x + 21)
2. Subtract 18x from both sides: x - 18x = 21
3. Simplify the left side: -17x = 21
4. Divide both sides by -17: x = 21 / -17
So the solution to the equation is x = 21 / -17.
