Explanation:

We have: 4x367x+18=3

First, let's subtract 18 from both sides of the equation:

4x367x=21

Then. let's multiply both sides by 67x:

4x3=21(67x)

4x3=126+147x

Let's collect the terms containing x on one side:

143x=123

Finally, let's solve for x by dividing both sides by 143:

x=123143
