Let's find the percent increase with the help of formula:
The first step of solving this problem is to find your x, which is the unknown number. The unknown number is the age of Max. Once you find the x you can write out your equation.
The equation for this problem is:
2x+8=26
the first step is to subtract 8 from both sides so that all you have on the left side is 2x and your equation will look like ths:
2x=18
after subtracting the 8; divide everything by the coefficient of x which is 2, your result is:
x=9
Max is 9 years old.
