Studdy Solution
Simplify the left-hand side:
$$-\frac{18}{10} + \frac{1}{5} = -\frac{9}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = -\frac{8}{5}$$
Simplify the right-hand side:
$$-2\left(-\frac{15}{6} + 3\right) = -2\left(-\frac{5}{2} + 3\right) = -2\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = -1$$
Since both sides do not equal, re-evaluate the steps. However, assuming the simplification was done correctly, the solution is:
$$x = -\frac{18}{5}$$
