Question

If 5x-26=x+50, then the value of x is

Answer 1

Let's work this problem out!

First: 5(x) - 26 - x + 50 = ? 

Second: 4(x) - 76 = ? 

Third: 4 = ? 
          ↑
(Solve Step 3) 

Fourth: x - 19 = 0 
                   ↑
(Add the number 19 to each of your sides for Step 4)

Finally we get to your answer

19 + 0 = 19 ; 19 - 19 = 0

So, therefore the value of "x" is 19 

$x = 19$
