The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
26*x-6 = 8*x-42
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$26 x = 8 x - 36$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$18 x = -36$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 18
x = -36 / (18)
We get the answer: x = -2
