7.333333... or 22/3

Step-by-step explanation:

ok soo it goes like this

ok soo it goes like this - (first one) let 2x-4= laura

ok soo it goes like this - (first one) let 2x-4= laura - (second one) let x= stacy

ok soo it goes like this - (first one) let 2x-4= laura - (second one) let x= stacy soo Laura = 2x-4

ok soo it goes like this - (first one) let 2x-4= laura - (second one) let x= stacy soo Laura = 2x-4x + 2x + 4 = 26

ok soo it goes like this - (first one) let 2x-4= laura - (second one) let x= stacy soo Laura = 2x-4x + 2x + 4 = 263x + 4 = 26 ( add x & 2x)

ok soo it goes like this - (first one) let 2x-4= laura - (second one) let x= stacy soo Laura = 2x-4x + 2x + 4 = 263x + 4 = 26 ( add x & 2x)3x = 22 (subtract 4)
