To solve the equation \( 13 + 26 = 3x - 34 \), we first simplify the left side:
\[ 39 = 3x - 34 \]
Next, we add 34 to both sides:
\[ 39 + 34 = 3x \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 73 = 3x \]
Now, divide both sides by 3 to solve for \( x \):
\[ x = \frac{73}{3} \approx 24.33 \]
This value does not match any of the answer choices. Let's double-check the calculations or see if I made an error in the choices.
Given the original equation:
- \( 13 + 26 = 39 \)
- So, \( 39 = 3x - 34 \) leads to \( 39 + 34 = 3x \).
- That simplifies to \( 73 = 3x \).
- Dividing by 3 gives us \( x = \frac{73}{3} \approx 24.33 \).
Since my calculation does not produce any of the given options of \( 0, -9, 3, -6 \), there may be a need to revisit these numbers and re-evaluate any external choices. None of the provided options are correct based on solving the equation you provided.
