**Problem: Finding the Coordinate Vector**

**Objective:**
Find the coordinate vector \([x]_B\) of \(x\) relative to the given basis \(B = \{b_1, b_2, b_3\}\).

**Given:**

- \(b_1 = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ -1 \\ -5 \end{bmatrix}\), 
- \(b_2 = \begin{bmatrix} -3 \\ 4 \\ 15 \end{bmatrix}\), 
- \(b_3 = \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ -2 \\ 4 \end{bmatrix}\)

The vector \(x\) is:

- \(x = \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ -1 \\ 18 \end{bmatrix}\)

**Task:** 

Determine \([x]_B\).

Please simplify your answer before finalizing.

**Solution:**

To find \([x]_B\), express \(x\) as a linear combination of the basis vectors \(b_1, b_2,\) and \(b_3\). This involves solving the following equation for the coefficients \(c_1, c_2,\) and \(c_3\):

\[ x = c_1b_1 + c_2b_2 + c_3b_3 \]

After solving, present the answer as a vector:

\[ [x]_B = \begin{bmatrix} c_1 \\ c_2 \\ c_3 \end{bmatrix} \]

**Note:** Remember to verify the solution by substituting the coefficients back into the equation and confirming the equality with \(x\).
