Explanation:
The first step is to multiply both sides of the equation by - 9 to eliminate the fraction.
#cancel(-9)^1xx(18-x)/cancel(-9)^1=(-9xx-5)#
#rArr18-x=45# subtract 18 from both sides.
#cancel(18)cancel(-18)-x=45-18#
#rArr-x=27# multiply both sides by - 1.
#-1xx-x=-1xx27#
#rArrx=-27" is the solution"#
