The solution

You have entered [src]
          0.2    
(26 - 4*x)    = 2
$$\left(26 - 4 x\right)^{0.2} = 2$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$\left(26 - 4 x\right)^{0.2} = 2$$
Because equation degree is equal to = 0.2 - does not contain even numbers in the numerator, then
the equation has single real root.
We raise the equation sides to 5-th degree:
We get:
$$\left(\left(26 - 4 x\right)^{0.2}\right)^{5} = 2^{5}$$
or
$$26 - 4 x = 32$$
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 4 x = 6$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -4
x = 6 / (-4)

We get the answer: x = -1.5

The final answer:
$$x_{1} = -1.5$$
