To solve the equation, we can simplify it:
6 - x - x = 18

Simplifying the left side, we have:
6 - 2x = 18

To isolate the variable, we subtract 6 from both sides:
-2x = 18 - 6
-2x = 12

Finally, we divide both sides by -2 to solve for x:
x = 12 / -2
x = -6

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -6.
