The solution

You have entered [src]
18 - x - 7*(2*x - 4) = 5*x + 20
$$\left(18 - x\right) - 7 \left(2 x - 4\right) = 5 x + 20$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
(18-x)-7*(2*x-4) = 5*x+20

Expand brackets in the left part
18-x-7*2*x+7*4 = 5*x+20

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
46 - 15*x = 5*x+20

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 15 x = 5 x - 26$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-20\right) x = -26$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -20
x = -26 / (-20)

We get the answer: x = 13/10
