Question

if 5x-4 =26what does x equal​

Answer 1

sol)

$5x - 4 = 26 \\ 5x = 26 + 4 \\ \: \: \: x = 30 \div 5 \\ \: \: \: \: x = 6 \: ans$

Answer 2

In such sums, we simply make the variable i.e. "x" in this case, as our subject.

Given equation,
5x - 4 = 26

Shifting ( - 4 ) from LHS to RHS,
OR 5x = 26 + 4

Performing simple addition on RHS,
OR 5x = 30

Shifting ( 5 ) from LHS to RHS,
OR x = 30 / 5

Performing simple division on RHS,
OR x = 6
=> " x " is equal to 6

Additional information:
LHS = Left Hand Side
RHS = Right Hand Side
i.e. = that is
