The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
18 - 2*(6*x - 4) = -3 + 6*(x + 7)
18-2*(6*x-4) = -3+6*(x+7)
18-2*6*x+2*4 = -3+6*(x+7)
18-2*6*x+2*4 = -3+6*x+6*7
26 - 12*x = -3+6*x+6*7
26 - 12*x = 39 + 6*x
x = 13 / (-18)
sum
-13 ---- 18
=
-13 ---- 18
product
-13 ---- 18
=
-13 ---- 18
-13/18
