To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
First, we can distribute the 3 to the terms inside the parentheses:
3 - 5x/3 = 18
Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction:
3(3 - 5x/3) = 3(18)
9 - 5x = 54
Now, we can subtract 9 from both sides:
9 - 9 - 5x = 54 - 9
-5x = 45
Lastly, we divide both sides of the equation by -5 to solve for x:
-5x/-5 = 45/-5
x = -9
Therefore, the solution for x is -9.
