Question

-26 times a number minus 22 is equal to 90 less than the number.

Answer 1

`x = (68)/(27)`

Explanation:

Let x be the number

1. Write it out: -26x - 22 = x - 90
2. Combine like terms: -27x + 68 = 0
3. Subtract 68 from each side, so it now looks like this: -27x = -68
4. Divide each side by -27 to cancel out the -27 next to x. It should now look like this:
   `x = (68)/(27)`

I hope this helps!
