x+2=5x+26

Move all the x's to one side of the equation. This is a step necessary to solve this equation.

Subtract both sides by x.


x+2-x=5x+26-x

2=4x+26

Flip equation. We always want to have the variable written on the left side.


4x+26=2

Subtract both sides by 26.


4x+26-26=2-26

4x=-24

Divide both sides by 4 to finish this off.


x=-6

That's your answer. Have an awesome day! :)
