paki sagot po want ko po plsss..​

Answer 1

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be X.

Given 3x-26=28

Adding 26 both sides

3x = 28+26

3x = 54

Dividing both sides by 3

X = 54/3

X = 18

Answer 2

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-26=28(write it down so you know what you're looking for)

3x=28+26(cross over to the like term remember sign changes when going to the other side)

3x=54(total)

3x/3=54/3(divide by 3 next to x cause we're looking for x and not 3x)

x=18
