26x=37-2x%2B11 Start with the given equation.


26x=-2x%2B48 Combine like terms on the right side.


26x%2B2x=48 Add 2x to both sides.


28x=48 Combine like terms on the left side.


x=%2848%29%2F%2828%29 Divide both sides by 28 to isolate x.


x=12%2F7 Reduce.

Answer:

So the answer is x=12%2F7 which approximates to x=1.714.
