Question

Solve for x.

5x - 1 = 26 plezz help

Answer 1

Same as the other one we did.

Simplifying
5x + -1 = 26

Reorder the terms:
-1 + 5x = 26

Solving
-1 + 5x = 26

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1 + 5x = 26 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + 5x = 26 + 1
5x = 26 + 1

Combine like terms: 26 + 1 = 27
5x = 27

Divide each side by '5'.
x = 5.4

Simplifying
x = 5.4

Make sense?
