\(42-3(6-x)+30=10x+2(18+x)\)

 

\(42-18+3x+30=10x+2(18+x)\)

 

\(24+3x+30=10x+2(18+x)\)

 

\(54+3x=10x+2(18+x)\)

 

\(54+3x=10x+36+2x\)

 

\(54+3x=12x+36\)

 

\(54+3x-12x=12x+36-12x\)

 

\(54-9x=12x+36-12x\)

 

\(54-9x=36-0x\)

 

\(54-9x=36-0\)

 

\(54-9x=36\)

 

\(54-9x-54=36-54\)

 

\(-9x-0=36-54\)

 

\(-9x=36-54\)

 

\(-9x=-18\)

 

\(\frac{-9x}{-9}=\frac{-18}{-9}\)

 

\(1x=\frac{-18}{-9}\)

 

\(x=\frac{-18}{-9}\)

 

\(x=\frac{18}{9}\)

 

\(x=\frac{2}{1}\)

 

\(x=2\)
