Hi my lil bunny!

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
[tex]2x-3x+5=18[/tex]
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
[tex]2x-3x+5=18\\2x + -3x + 5 = 18[/tex]
[tex]( 2x + -3x ) + ( 5) = 18[/tex] (Combine Like Terms)
[tex]-x + 5 = 18\\-x + 5 = 18[/tex]
Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.
[tex]-x + 5 - 5 = 18 - 5 \\-x = 13[/tex]
Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.
[tex]\frac{-x}{-1} = \frac{13}{-1} \\x = -13[/tex]
Answer : [tex]\boxed {x = -13}[/tex]

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \mathsf{2x - 3x + 5 = 18}[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex] \mathsf{ - x + 5 = 18}[/tex]
Move constant to R.H.S and change it's sign
[tex] \mathsf{ - x = 18 - 5} [/tex]
Calculate the difference
[tex] - x = 13[/tex]
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
[tex] \mathsf{x = - 13}[/tex]
---------------------------------------------------------------

[tex] \mathsf{LHS \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: RHS}[/tex]
[tex] \mathsf{2x - 3x + 5 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 18}[/tex]
[tex] \mathsf{ = 2 \times ( - 13) - 3 \times ( - 13) + 5}[/tex]
[tex] \mathsf{ - 26 + 39 + 5}[/tex]
[tex] \mathsf{ = 13 + 5}[/tex]
[tex] = 18[/tex]
Thus, LHS = RHS
hope I helped!
Best regards!
