Hi!
The goal with the equation .3x = 18 is to isolate the x, solve for x.
To do that, I would just do the opposite of all operations done on the same side as x. In this case, the only operation is multiplied by .3.
The opposite of that would be dividing both sides by .3:
.3x / .3 = 18 / .3
x = 60
Now to check. To check, substitute in the answer you got for x in the equation, and if it works, it's correct.
.3x = 18
.3 (60) = 18
3/10 (60) = 18
3 * 6 = 18
18 = 18
So 60 is the correct answer.
Hope this helped!
