Answer:x=14/3
Explanation:
10x+2=16x-26
Subtract 2 from both side 10x+2-2+16x-26-2
Subtract the Numbers
10x = 16x -26 -2
Do It again
10x = 16x - 28
Subtract 16 from boths side
10x-16x = 16x -28 -16x
Combine like terms
10x- 16x - 16x to get 16x-10x = 6x-16x = -6x
-6x = -28x
divided both sides by the same factor
-6
-6x/-6 -28x/-6
cancel terms -6x/6
then divide -28x/-6 =
x=14/3
