You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
In this post, I will solve equation 2 for you, with full explanations.
Your starting equation is
2(x-8) = 3x - 26
Simplify it step by step
2x - 16 = 3x - 26
Collect the terms with x on the right side.
Collect all other terms (constant terms) in the left side.
By moving the terms over the equation sign, from left side to right side and vice versa,
change the sign of the term to the opposite one, each time.
26 - 16 = 3x - 2x
Combine and compute like terms
10 = x.
ANSWER. x = 10.
Solved.
