Step-by-step explanation:

2(5x+9) = 6x+26

10x + 18 = 6x + 26

4x + 18 = 26

4x = 8

Solution:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property on the left-hand side:


\sf{2(5x+9)=6x+26}


\sf{10x+18=6x+26}


\sf{10x-6x+18=26}


\sf{4x+18=26}

Subtract 18 from each side:


\sf{4x=8}

Divide each side by 4:


\sf{x=2}

Hence, the answer is x = 2.
