Answer:
x=16
Step-by-step explanation:
7x−2(3x−5)=26
Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by 3x−5.
7x−6x+10=26
Combine 7x and −6x to get x.
x+10=26
Subtract 10 from both sides.
x=26−10
Subtract 10 from 26 to get 16.
Graph if needed:
x = 16
7x - 2(3x - 5) = 26
7x - 6x + 10 = 26
7x - 6x + 10 - 10 = 26 - 10
x = 26 - 10
