-58x - 26 = 8x - 230.6

We must separate x on one side and the numerical term on the other side

Add 26 to both sides to move 26 from the left side to the right side

-58x - 26 + 26 = 8x - 230.6 + 26

-58x = 8x - 204.6

Subtract 8x from both sides to move 8x from the right side to the left side

-58x - 8x = 8x - 8x - 204.6

-66x = -204.6

Divide both sides by -66 to find x

-66x/-66 = -204.6/-66

x = 3.1

The answer is 3.1
