{{{26x=37-2x+11}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{26x=-2x+48}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{26x+2x=48}}} Add {{{2x}}} to both sides.



{{{28x=48}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{x=(48)/(28)}}} Divide both sides by {{{28}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=12/7}}} Reduce.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the answer is {{{x=12/7}}} which approximates to {{{x=1.714}}}.
