Question #3368d

Answer 1

Get 'x' by itself

Explanation:

Since we're trying to solve for 'x', we need to isolate it first and then divide.

`-18x-45 =-12`

`-18x = 33`

`x = -1.83`

You could divide first, but that requires taking an extra step as you would be dividing two values instead of one.
