    One solution was found:

    x = - 8

    Rearrange:

    Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation:

    5*x - (x+3) - (1/3 * (9*x-18) - 5) = 0

    Step by step solution:

    Step 1:

    1

    Simplify -

    3

    Equation at the end of step 1:

    1

    (4x - 3) - (( - • (9x - 18)) - 5) = 0

    3

    3.1 Pull out like factors:

    9x - 18 = 9 • (x - 2)

    Equation at the end of step 3:

    (4x - 3) - (3 • (x - 2) - 5) = 0

    Step 4:

    Equation at the end of step 4:

    x + 8 = 0

    Solving a Single Variable Equation:

    5.1 Solve : x+8 = 0

    Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:

    x = - 8

    One solution was found:

    x = - 8
