4x + 26= 98

1 answer

To solve for x, we first need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

We can do this by subtracting 26 from both sides of the equation:

4x + 26 - 26 = 98 - 26

Which simplifies to:

4x = 72

Now, to solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 4:

4x/4 = 72/4

Which simplifies to:

x = 18

Therefore, the solution to the equation 4x + 26 = 98 is x = 18.
