Answer:x= 109/15

Explanation:

subtract 26 from both sides

75(x-8) =-55 simplify

divide both sides by 75 75(x-8)/75 = -55/75

simplify x-8= -11/15

Add 8 to both sides x-8+8= -11/15 +8

then simplify and your answer is 109/15

Answer:

x = 109/15

Explanation:

75(x - 8) + 26 = -29

Distribute

75x -600 +26 = -29

Combine like terms

75x -574 = -29

Add 574 to each side

75x -574+574 = -29+574

75x =545

Divide each side by 75

x = 545/75

x = 109/15
