To solve the equation, first distribute -4/3 to (x - 6):
(-4/3)(x - 6) = -26.
Multiplying through by -4/3, we get:
x - 6 = -26(-4/3).
Simplifying -26(-4/3) gives us 104/3:
x - 6 = 104/3.
To isolate x, add 6 to both sides of the equation:
x = 104/3 + 6.
The common denominator for 104/3 and 18/3 is 3:
x = (104 + 18)/3
x = 122/3
The simplified answer for x is 122/3.
Solve for x: negative 4 over 3, multiplied by x minus 6 equals negative 26
