# 1

Cannot solve since 2-8x%2B26-2x is NOT an equation (it's missing an equals sign)





# 2




%285%2F6%29x-1=%281%2F6%29x%2B23 Start with the given equation.


6%28%285%2Fcross%286%29%29x%29-6%281%29=6%28%281%2Fcross%286%29%29x%29%2B6%2823%29 Multiply EVERY term by the LCD 6 to clear the fractions.


5x-6=x%2B138 Multiply.


5x=x%2B138%2B6 Add 6 to both sides.


5x-x=138%2B6 Subtract x from both sides.


4x=138%2B6 Combine like terms on the left side.


4x=144 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28144%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x.


x=36 Reduce.
