Let's solve this equation step by step:
18 + 3(0.6 - x) = x - 5(2 - x)
18 + 1.8 - 3x = x - 10 + 5x (Distribute the 3 on the left side and the -5 on the right side)
18 + 1.8 - 10 = x - 5x + 3x (Combine like terms)
9.8 - 10 = -x + 3x
-0.2 = 2x (Combine like terms)
x = -0.1 (Divide both sides by 2)
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -0.1.
