How to solve 5x + 4 = 26? Get the answer and stepwise instruction to solve linear equation in one variable 𝒙.
We have 5x + 4 = 26
First, we move the non x terms to the RHS of the equation. To do this, we subtract 4 from both sides.
Note: if a = b, then a - c = b - cTherefore, 5x + 4 - 4 = 26 - 4
or, 5x = 22
Next, divide both sides by 5, which is the coefficent of x
Note: if a = b, then a ÷ c = b ÷ c5x5 = 225
x = 225 or, x = 4.4
