26-18=2x-x

8=x

Answer 2

Answer:

x=22

Step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x+-26=2x+18

record the terms:

-26+4x=2x+18

(-26)+4x=18+2x

solving

-26+4x=18+2x

solving for variable 'X'

move allterms containing x to the left,all other terms to right

add '-2x' to each side of the equation

-26+4x+(-2x)=18+2x+(-2x)

combine like terms : 4x+(-2x)=2x

-26+2x=18+0

-26+2x=18

add '26' to each side of the equation

-26+26+2x=18+26

combine like terms: -26+26=0

0+2x=18+26

2x=18+26

combine like terms:18+26=44

2x=44

divide each side by '2'

x=22

simplifying

x=22
