To solve the equation \(3x - 10 = 26\), follow these steps:
1. Add 10 to both sides of the equation:
\[
3x - 10 + 10 = 26 + 10
\]
\[
3x = 36
\]
2. Divide both sides by 3:
\[
x = \frac{36}{3}
\]
\[
x = 12
\]
Therefore, the number that makes the equation true is \(x = 12\).
1. Add 10 to both sides of the equation:
\[
3x - 10 + 10 = 26 + 10
\]
\[
3x = 36
\]
2. Divide both sides by 3:
\[
x = \frac{36}{3}
\]
\[
x = 12
\]
Therefore, the number that makes the equation true is \(x = 12\).
