Question

If 5x-4=26 what does the x equal

Answer 1

5x - 4 = 26

------------------------------------------------
Add 4 to both sides:
------------------------------------------------
5x - 4 + 4 = 26 + 4
5x = 30

------------------------------------------------
Divide by 5 on both sides:
------------------------------------------------
5x ÷ 5 = 30 ÷ 5
x = 6

------------------------------------------------
Answer: x = 6
------------------------------------------------

Answer 2

x would be 6 because 5x is 5 x 6 - 4
