6*(x+5)=18

To solve the equation \( 6(x + 5) = 18 \), follow these steps:

1. Distribute the 6 on the left side: \[ 6x + 30 = 18 \]

2. Subtract 30 from both sides: \[ 6x = 18 - 30 \] \[ 6x = -12 \]

3. Divide both sides by 6: \[ x = \frac{-12}{6} \] \[ x = -2 \]

So, the solution to the equation is \( x = -2 \).
