2 = -3x + 26

First, subtract '26' from both sides.
\(2 - 26 = -3x\)
Second, subtract '2 - 26' to get '-24'.
\(-24 = -3x\)
Third, divide both sides by '-3'.
\(\frac{-24}{-3} =x\)
Fourth, change the fraction into a negative.
\(\frac{24}{3} =x\)
Fifth, since 3 × 8 = 24, simplify the fraction to '8'.
\(8 = x\)
Sixth, switch it around.
\(x = 8\)

Answer: x = 8

X=8 because you would do -26 under the postive 26 and they would cancel then do the same to the other side and you would get -24=-3x and put the -3x over -3,they would cancel then you do the same to the other side and you would get X=8! Hope this helped!
