I have no idea how to solve 3! Can you please explain? Thank you

Answer 1

6 - x - x = 18
6 - 2x = 18
-2x = 12
x = -6

check:

6 - (-6) - (-6) = 6+6+6 = 18

Answer 2

the others look good.
Can't imagine why #3 threw you. It's the most straightforward of them all.

Answer 3

6 - x - x = 18

-2x = 12

x = -6

Your answers are correct.
