Answer 2

The value of
`x`:

`x = 2`

Explanation:

Solve for
`x`:

`2(2.5x + 8) = 26`

-Divide both sides by
`2`:

`2(2.5x + 8) = 26`

`2.5x + 8 = (26)/(2)`

-Divide
`26` by
`2`:

`2.5x + 8 = (26)/(2)`

`2.5x + 8 = 13`

-Subtract both sides by
`8`:

`2.5x + 8 - 8 = 13 - 8`

`2.5x = 5`

-Divide both sides by
`2.5`:

`(2.5x)/(2.5) = (5)/(2.5)`

Expand to the form
`(5)/(2.5) = 2` by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by
`10`:

`(5)/(2.5) = 2`

`x = (50)/(25)`

Then, you divide
`50` by
`25`:

`x = (50)/(25)`

`x = 2`

So, the final answer would be
`x = 2` .
