See a solution process below:

#### Explanation:

First, add $\textcolor{red}{18}$ to each side of the equation to isolate the $x$ term while keeping the equation balanced:

$- 23 x - 18 + \textcolor{red}{18} = 0 + \textcolor{red}{18}$

$- 23 x - 0 = 18$

$- 23 x = 18$

Now, divide each side of the equation by $\textcolor{red}{- 23}$ to solve for $x$ while keeping the equation balanced:

$\frac{- 23 x}{\textcolor{red}{- 23}} = \frac{18}{\textcolor{red}{- 23}}$

$\frac{\textcolor{red}{\cancel{\textcolor{b l a c k}{- 23}}} x}{\cancel{\textcolor{red}{- 23}}} = - \frac{18}{23}$

$x = - \frac{18}{23}$
