To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
3 - (5/3)x = 18
First, we can move the constant term to the other side of the equation by subtracting 3 from both sides:
- (5/3)x = 15
Next, we can get rid of the coefficient of x by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of (5/3), which is 3/5:
x = 15 * 3/5
x = 9
Therefore, x = 9.
solve for x. 3 − 5/3x=18
