what is an equation where the answer is 26?

Question

anonymous · Answer

x + 6 = 20

does this work?

hoblos · Answer

x-6=20 **

anonymous · Answer

a three step equation

hoblos · Answer

three step equation?? what does this mean

anonymous · Answer

an equation where three step s are needed to solve the equation

anonymous · Answer

a thankless task i assure you

anonymous · Answer

hoblos, it's something from the very early days of algebra. I actually had to look it up because I'd forgotten haha, but it's basically something involving three steps to the form of: simply and collect like terms; rearrange for x; solve for x.

anonymous · Answer

yea so do u have an equation for me?

anonymous · Answer

Oh and yeah, it's like scrubbing toilets. Nobody will thank you or appreciate the time you spend doing it.

anonymous · Answer

i will please give me an equation

anonymous · Answer

try 
$$2x+1=x+27$$

anonymous · Answer

or maybe 
$$3x+1=x+53$$

anonymous · Answer

$$\Large 87,613x - 1,914,068 - 13,995x = 0$$

anonymous · Answer

no satellite they both equal 13 not 26

anonymous · Answer

fewscrews those number sare too big give smaller numbers

anonymous · Answer

And both satellite's answers are 26.

anonymous · Answer

jeez my elementary algebra must have deserted me. lets try and solve 
$$3x+1=x+53$$ 
1) subtract x from both sides get 
$$2x+1=53$$2) subtract 1 from both sides get 
$$2x=52$$3) divide by 2 get 
$$x=26$$ hmmm

anonymous · Answer

noooo

anonymous · Answer

lilnick32, do you understand changing sides, collecting like terms, etc?

anonymous · Answer

nope

anonymous · Answer

yea he is right

anonymous · Answer

Ok. Say you have the equation:$$\Large 3x - 30 = 0$$You want to move the 30 to the other side, since it doesn't involve the variable or co-efficient x. So you add 30 to both sides:$$\Large 3x - 30 + 30 = 0 + 30$$But of course most people don't write it out like that, and simply jump to $$\Large 3x = 30$$Now you know that 3 times x is equal to 30, so to find x, divide 30 by 3:$$\Large x = \frac{{30}}{3}$$And you have your answer:$$\Large x = 10$$

anonymous · Answer

now this is the last question im asking. so what is an equation in which the answer is 28?

anonymous · Answer

Read everything everyone has posted here and try and find one =)

anonymous · Answer

please this is the last one

anonymous · Answer

Fine. But just remember, when you actually need to use this kind of thing, you're not going to be able to simply ask somebody for help.$$\Large 2x + 13 = x + 41$$
