Answer:

x=-7.

Explanation:

Hi student! Let me help you out.

_________________

First, add 5 to both sides.


\sf 3x=-26+5. Upon simplifying, we obtain this.


\sf 3x=-21.

Now divide both sides, by 3.


\sf x=-7


\therefore,\sf the \quad value \quad of \quad x \quad is \quad -7. Which is our final answer.
