Answer 2

Answer:

Simplifying

3x + 8 = 26

Reorder the terms:

8 + 3x = 26

Solving

8 + 3x = 26

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.

8 + -8 + 3x = 26 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0

0 + 3x = 26 + -8

3x = 26 + -8

Combine like terms: 26 + -8 = 18

3x = 18

Divide each side by '3'.

x = 6

Simplifying

x = 6
