Question

Please explain how to do this?
26x+27x+55-10=5x+27

Answer 1

x = -3/8

Explanation:

26x+27x+55-10=5x+27

- Collect all like terms.

53x + 45 = 5x + 27

- Subtract 5x from both sides.

48x + 45 = 27

- Subtract 45 from both sides.

48x = -18

- Divide both sides by 48 to isolate the variable.

x = -3/8
