6(x-3)=3x+8 solve for x give an answer in inproper fraction linear equation with x on both sides

6x-18=3x+8
3x=26
x= 26/3

X=26/3. I got my answer by making simplifying the equation to 6x-18=3x+8. I later did the inverse operation of adding 3x I subtracted 3x from both sides getting me 3x-18=8. So, I later did the inverse operation of subtracting 18 I added 18 to both sides getting me 3x=26. Then, I did the inverse operation of multiplying by 3 I divided by to both sides I got x=26/3 because x couldn't be a whole number but instead a mixed or an improper but I used improper because the questions is telling me to show an improper fraction as an answer so 26/3 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of hits by baseball player in one season = 61

Number of hits in one game =

To find:

The expression to represent the number of hits that the player got in the rest of the games = ?
