Find the value of x that makes the following equation true.
-4x + 26 = -2

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

Note that:

PEMDAS = Order of Operation:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

First, subtract 26 from both sides:

-4x + 26 (-26) = -2 (-26)

-4x = -28

Next, divide -4 from both sides.

(-4x)/-4 = (-28)/-4

x = -28/-4

x = 28/4

x = 7

x = 7 is your answer.
