Answer: x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Add 6x to both sides.
−8x+26+6x=−6x+14+6x
−2x+26=14
Step 2: Subtract 26 from both sides.
−2x+26−26=14−26
−2x=−12
Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.
-2x/-2 = -12/-2
x = 6
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
-8x + 26 = -6x +1 4
Collect like terms, we have:
26 - 14 = -6x + 8x
Note that the symbols changed after switching sides.
From the above, we have:
12 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2, to solve for x.
x = 12/2
x = 6.
