so here are the steps:
x + 18 = -22
minus 18 on both sides
x = -30
there you go! :) i hope this was the brainliest answer and have a nice day!
x+18=-22
We move all terms to the left:
x+18-(-22)=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
x+40=0
We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
x=-40
