Answer: x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
(1/3) (3x + 6) + 2x = 26
<u>Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property</u>
(1/3) · 3x + (1/3) · 6 + 2x = 26
x + 2 + 2x = 26
<u>Combine like terms</u>
(x + 2x) + 2 = 26
3x + 2 = 26
<u>Subtract 2 on both sides</u>
3x + 2 - 2 = 26 - 2
3x = 24
<u>Divide 3 on both sides</u>
3x / 3 = 24 / 3

The fraction

To find this we need to realize that .66 can be converted to a fraction. The last 6 is in the hundredths place, so if we convert .66 to a fraction we will get:

If we simplify this fraction as much as we can, we will get to

To check this we can divide
