Answer:
[tex]\huge \boxed{{x=-13}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]2x-3x+5=18[/tex]
[tex]\sf Combine \ like \ terms.[/tex]
[tex]-1x+5=18[/tex]
[tex]\sf Subtract \ 5 \ from \ both \ sides.[/tex]
[tex]-1x+5-5=18-5[/tex]
[tex]-1x=13[/tex]
[tex]\sf Multiply \ both \ sides \ by \ -1.[/tex]
[tex]-1x \times (-1)=13 \times (-1)[/tex]
[tex]x=-13[/tex]
