To solve for x, we can start by isolating the variable on one side of the equation.
First, let's get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by the denominator, which is 3:
3(3) - 5/3x = 18(3)
This simplifies to:
9 - 5x = 54
Next, let's isolate the variable term by subtracting 9 from both sides:
9 - 9 - 5x = 54 - 9
This simplifies to:
-5x = 45
Finally, to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by -5:
(-5x)/-5 = 45/-5
This simplifies to:
x = -9
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -9.
