Answer:

<u>x = 12</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

10 - 3 ( x + 7 ) = 26

<em>First Step: Distribute</em>

- 3 to ( x + 7 )

= 10 - 3 x - 21 = 26

<em>Second Step: Combine like terms</em>

10 - 21

= - 11 - 3 x = 26

<em>Third Step: Add from both sides</em>

26 + 11

= - 3 x = 37

<em>Fourth Step: Divide from both sides</em>

37 / - 3

<u>x = 12</u>
