We will simply follow the rules of solving an equation to arrive at pur conclusion.
Begin by writing the given equation as it is.
5x - 2 = 18
When we shift a term from LHS to RHS or vice versa then we change its sign, i.e. ( - ) becomes ( + ),
5x = 18 + 2
Performing simple addition in RHS,
5x = 20
When we shift a term from LHS to RHS or vice versa then if it is multiplying with a another term of same side, it is divided by the term(s) of another side,
x = 20 ÷ 5
Performing simple division in RHS,
x = 4
