The solution to the equation 2−(6x−26)=7(x−2) is x= 42/13
How to solve the equation
To solve the equation
2 - (6x - 26) = 7(x - 2)
Open bracket
2 - 6x + 26 = 7x - 14
2 +26 -6x = 7x - 14
28 - 6x = 7x -14
collect like term
28 + 14 = 7x + 6x
42 = 13x
divide through by 13
x = 42/13
Therefore, the solution to the equation 2−(6x−26)=7(x−2) is x= 42/13
