Question

4(2x-3)=26


what does X equal

Answer 1

8x-12=26
8x=26+12
8x=38
and your answer would is
x=4.75, x=19/4, or x= 4 3/4 depending on the form you need it in.

Answer 2

x = 4.75

Explanation:

4 (2x - 3) = 26

8x - 12 = 26

8x = 38

x = 4.75

Double check to make sure:

Plug the x = 4.75

4 (2 x 4.75 - 3) = 26

4 (9.5 - 3) = 26

4 (6.5) = 26

26 = 26 Which is true.
