 2           
x  - 18 = 7*x
$$x^{2} - 18 = 7 x$$
Detail solution
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.

The equation is transformed from
$$x^{2} - 18 = 7 x$$
to
$$- 7 x + \left(x^{2} - 18\right) = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = -7$$
$$c = -18$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-7)^2 - 4 * (1) * (-18) = 121

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = 9$$
$$x_{2} = -2$$
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced quadratic equation
$$p x + q + x^{2} = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = -7$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = -18$$
Vieta Formulas
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = - p$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = q$$
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = 7$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = -18$$
