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

13x + 26 = 3x - 34

First, let's simplify the equation by combining the like terms.

13x - 3x = -34 - 26

10x = -60

Next, we need to isolate x. Divide both sides of the equation by 10.

10x/10 = -60/10

x = -6

Therefore, x equals -6 is the solution to the equation.
