Someone check my work please? (ew algebra review)

What is the value of x in the equation \(\frac{2}{x}\)-3=\(\frac{26}{x}\)

Answer 1

\(\Large\frac{2}{x}\)-3=\(\Large\frac{26}{x}\)
-2/x -2/x
-----------
-3=\(\Large\frac{26}{x}\)-\(\Large\frac{2}{x}\)
(\(\Large\frac{1}{24}\))-3=\(\Large\frac{24}{x}\)(\(\Large\frac{1}{24}\))

x= -\(\Large\frac{1}{8}\)
