C.

Answer 1

x > 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 2 from both sides

-26 + 13x > -13x

Add 26 to both sides

13x > -13x + 26

Add 13x to both sides

13x + 13x > -13x + 26 + 13x

Simplify

26x > 26

So x > 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

x > 1

Explanation:

Subtract 2 from both sides

-26 + 13x > -13x

Add 26 to both sides

13x > -13x + 26

Add 13x to both sides

13x + 13x > -13x + 26 + 13x

Simplify

26x > 26

So x > 1
