Answer 1

x = -24

Explanation:

The given equation is :

`11+(6-x)/(2)=26`

We need to find the value of x.

Solving LHS first.

`11+(6-x)/(2)=(11(2)+6-x)/(2)\\\\=(22+6-x)/(2)\\\\=(28-x)/(2)`

Now equate this with 26such that,

`(28-x)/(2)=26\\\\28-x=52\\\\28-52=x\\\\x=-24`

So, the value of x = -24.
