To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

Starting with the given equation:

3 - (5/3x) = 18

First, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3x to remove the denominator:

(3x)(3 - (5/3x)) = (3x)(18)
9x - 5 = 54x

Next, let's move all terms with x to one side and all constant terms to the other side:

9x - 54x = 5
-45x = 5

Now, divide both sides of the equation by -45 to solve for x:

x = 5/(-45)
x = -1/9

Therefore, the solution for x is -1/9.
