To solve for x, we can start by isolating the variable by performing the necessary operations.
-5x - 26 = -32
First, let's add 26 to both sides of the equation to move the constant to the other side of the equation:
-5x - 26 + 26 = -32 + 26
Simplifying, we get:
-5x = -6
Next, divide both sides of the equation by -5 to solve for x:
-5x / -5 = -6 / -5
Simplifying, we get:
x = 6/5 or 1.2
Therefore, the solution for the equation -5x - 26 = -32 is x = 6/5 or 1.2.
-5x - 26 = -32
