Answer:

23.14

Explanation:

x/2.6=8.9

We move all terms to the left:

x/2.6-(8.9)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x/2.6-8.9=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator

x-(8.9)*2.6=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x-23.14=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

x=23.14
